Set the smaller one to x. 2x+6=22, so 2x=16. Thus, x=8 and x+6=14, so 8 and 14 are our numbers.
The answer will be 15/14, or 1 1/14 for the simplest form.
times more stars are there in universe compared to human eye can see
<h3><u>
Solution:</u></h3>
Given that, conservative estimate of the number of stars in the universe is 
The average human can see about 3,000 stars at night with only their eyes
To find: Number of times more stars are there in the universe, compared to the stars a human can see
Let "x" be the number of times more stars are there in the universe, compared to the stars a human can see
Then from given statement,
<em><u>Substituting given values we get,</u></em>
Thus times more stars are there in universe compared to human eye can see
Answer:
New length is 3 3/20 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total board is 2 5/8 feet long. And since 5/6 of a foot is trimmed off, that means each piece of wood is 5/6 feet.
We can now set up an equation like this ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8
Now we're going to simplify ---> 5/6 ⋅ x = 2 5/8
5/6 ⋅ x = 21/8
(multiply both sides by 6)
5x = 63/4
(divide both sides by 5)
x = 63/20
x= 3.15
So, the new length is 3.15 feet long, or 3 3/20 in mixed fraction.
63/80 x 100 = 78.8%
You divide normally but multiply by 100 (moving the decimal over two places).
