Mathematics

Answer:

One number is 17 and the other is 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be m and n.  Let m = (1/5)n.  Note that m+n = 18.

Substituting (1/5)n for m in the 2nd equation, we get (1/5)n + (5/5)n = 18.  Multiplying all three terms by 5 to remove fractions, we get n + 5 = 90, so that n = 85.  m is (1/5) of 85, or m = 17.

sid and Jill hiked 4 1/8 miles in the morning and 1 1/7 miles in the afternoon.how many times as far did they hike in the mornin
mote1985 [20]
Your answer is ..
First,
we have to turn our mixed fractions into an improper fraction.
=4 1/8 which is 33/8(4 x 8 + 1).

Our next mixed fraction,
we have 1 1/7 which is 8/7(1 x 7 + 1).

Now, we have the get the same denominator in order to subtract.
SO, both 8 and 7 goes in to 56. So we multiply both mixed fractions to get the same denominator.
(Tip: what ever you do to do numerator, you do to the denominator; and the other way around).
33/8 : 33*7=231 and our denominator, 8*7=56
So our improper fraction now,
231/56

Our next fraction 8/7,
7*8= 56 and our numerator 8*8=64.
=64/56

So, now we subtract.
231-64= 167 and our common denominator. 167/56

Now we divide 167 by 56 which is 2 and remainder is 55.
So, you should end up with a mixed fraction, 2 55/56.
