Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2
First find the common denominator
5/8=25/40
2/5=16/40
3/4=30/40
Next you can cross multiply
25/40=x/10 pounds
16/40=x/10 pounds
30/40=x/10 pounds
First
25(10)/40= 6.25 pounds
16(10)/40= 4pounds
30(10)/40= 7.5 pounds
These are the amounts that were left in the bag
10-6.25=3.75
10-4=6
10-7.5=2.5
3.75+6+2.5= 12.25
All together they put 12.25 pounds of soil in the flower bed

Answer:
2,900
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -2, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7y=-9---------------------equation 1
-x+8y=10-------------------equation 2
From equation 1, make x the subject of formula
x=7y-9----------------------equation 3
substituting x=7y-9 in equation 2,
-(7y-9)+8y=10
Expanding bracket
-7y+9+8y=10
Collecting like terms
8y-7y=10-9
y=1
substituting y=1 in 3
x=7(1)-9
x=7-9
x=-2
