Fraction: 16/75
Decimal: 0.21
X/2 + x/2 = 2x / 2 or just x. So x = 8/12 which can be simplified by their greatest common factor of 4. Divide both top and bottom by 4. This gives you x = 2/3.
Your answer for that equation is x = 2/3
Not sure what you mean by "decompose" though.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 cups in 1 pint.
Sara gets 2 * 7 = 14 cups
She pays 20 dollars.
Tatiana buys 15 1/2 cups for 20 dollars. In effect, Tatiana got 1.5 cups free, so she got the better deal.
2x+4y=12
y=x-3
Since we know what y equals, we can plug this into the first equation:
2x+4(x-3)=12
We can then distribute:
2x+4x-12=12
And solve for x:
6x-12=12
6x=24
x=4
We can then plug x into the second equation and find y:
y=x-3
y=4-3
y=1
Therefore x=4 and y=1
5179-8579 is the answer and you'll see why, the ration is the difference between two numbers and in which you would call the following number on the right, shown as 8579
