Answer:
4/40
Step-by-step explanation:
you can reduce this to 1/10
multiplying 4 by both 1 and 10 will give you the fraction 4/40 both can be divided by 4 and that's how it can reduce to the 1st fraction (1/10)
A) x-6; you have x amount of money and pay 6 dollars for a hat.
b) 2(x2);
If Simone has 20 bills, then:
1/5 of 20 = 4 [hundreds]
1/4 of 20 = 5 [fifites]
1/10 of 20 = 2 [$20s]
4 * 100 + 5 * 50 + 2 * 20 = 400 + 250 + 40 = 690 [out of $780]
4 + 5 + 2 = 11 [out of 20 bills]
So now we can easily find out she had 9 bills of tens - because 20 - 11 = 9 or because (780 - 690) ÷ 10 = 90 ÷ 10 = 9.
