Answer: The correct answer is 3/32.
Hope this helps! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Each bow needs 4.67 yards of ribbon.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that each roll has 20 yd.
She used 3 + 1/2 rolls, then the total length used will be (3 + 1/2) times the length of each roll, this is:
(3 + 1/2)*20 yd = (6/2 + 1/2)*20yd = (7/2)*20yd = 70 yd.
With tose 70 yards of ribbon, she made 15 bows, then the length of ribbon used in each bow will be equal to the quotient between the total length used and the number of ribbons made with it, this is:
70yd/15 = 4.67 yards
Each bow needs 4.67 yards of ribbon.
Multiply the equation 2x+7y=-1 by -2
add to othe equaiton
4x-3y=-19
<u>-4x-14y=2 +</u>
0x-17y=-17
-17y=-17
divide both sides by -17
y=1
sub back
2x+7y=-1
2x+7(1)=-1
2x+7=-1
minus 7 from both sides
2x=-8
divide both sides by 2
x=-4
x=-4
y=1
(x,y) is normal form
(-4,1) is answer
The answer would be false because the number .8 can be 8/10 but it is rational and you can understand that. It would not be an irrational number.
