Answer:

C. -3/4, -2/3, 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Just from observation, you can tell the 1/5 will be the greatest because all the other fractions are negative. Then, I converted them to decimal form to make it easier.

-2/3 = -0.6666666 (the 6 goes on forever)

-3/4 = -0.75

1/5= 0.20

Then, you put them in order.

-3/4 would be the least .

Followed by, -2/3

Finally, 1/5

A pet store sells goldfish and hermit crabs,

Elis [28]

Answer:

$Cost = \$28$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Goldfish with g and hermit crabs with h.

The first statement, we have:

$7g + 3h = 26$

The second statement, we have:

$4g + 5h = 28$

Required

Determine the selling price of 6 goldfish and 4 hermit crabs

The equations are:

$7g + 3h = 26$ --- (1)

$4g + 5h = 28$ --- (2)

Make g the subject in (2)

$4g + 5h = 28$

$4g = 28 - 5h$

Divide both sides by 4

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$

Substitute $\frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$ for g in (1)

$7g + 3h = 26$

$7(\frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)) + 3h = 26$

$\frac{7}{4}(28 - 5h) + 3h = 26$

Multiply through by 4

$4 * \frac{7}{4}(28 - 5h) + 4*3h = 26*4$

$7(28 - 5h) + 4*3h = 26*4$

Open bracket

$196 - 35h + 12h = 104$

$196 -23h = 104$

Collect Like Terms

$-23h = 104-196$

$-23h = -92$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{-92}{-23}$

$h = \frac{92}{23}$

$h = 4$

Substitute 4 for h in $g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5*4)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 20)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(8)$

$g = 2$

This implies that:

1 goldfish = $2

1 hermit crab = $4

The cost of 6 goldfish and 4 hermit crabs is:

$Cost = 6g + 4h$

$Cost = 6*\$2 + 4*\$4$

$Cost = \$12 + \$16$

$Cost = \$28$
