Answer: A. An OPEN circle on the number 5 and an arrow shading to the RIGHT.
Since the quotient of the two decimal numbers is 1, that tells use that they are the same number.
Since the sum of the two numbers equals 1 and both numbers are the same, then the answer must be 1 divided by 2. or .5
the fractions would be 1/2 and 1/2
N(1/5) = (2/15)
divide both sides by (1/5)
n = (2/15)/(1/5)
to divide fractions, cross multiply, e.g. (2*5)/(15*1) = 10/15
n = 10/15 = 2/3 or 0.666666.
First we should figure out how much over the weight limit the passengers are. We can find this by 750-450 which is 300. The amount of weight that needs to get off the elevator is 300 kilograms. Then, we know that each passenger weighs 70 kilograms. We can represent this as 70p.The inequality is 70p \geq 300. Then we can solve by dividing both sides of the inequality by 70. We get p \geq 4.28... Since people only come in whole numbers, and it has to be greater than 4.28, the number of excess passengers is 5.
Hope this helped!
