I think when you divide decimals the numbers get bigger but when you divide by a whole number, they get smaller.
Okay for this question, you make a simple equation: (1/3)x=(1/4)y to represent the ratio between the milk and water. Then to find how many cups of water are needed for each cup of milk, you plug in 3 for x (because 1/3 times 3 equals one cup) and solve for your y value. Your final equation for solving should look like: (1/3)(3)=(1/4)y
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3y=7x+2
one pair is (1,3)
go on adding 3 in x=1,you get corresponding value of y.
x=4,y=10,(4,10)
and so on .
Answer:
Lee has 19 nickels and 8 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
hello, I think I can help you with this
Step 1
Let
value of a nickel=$0.05
value of a dime=$0.10
number of nickels=N
number of nickels=D
According to the question data Lee has $1.75 in dimes and nickels.
0.05N+0.1D=1.75,equation(1)
also, the number of nickels is 11 more than the number of dimes.mathematical speaking
N=11+D,equation(2)
Step 2
replace N from equation (2) into equation (1)
0.05N+0.1D=1.75
0.05(11+D)+0.1D=1.75
Now, solve for D
0.55+0.05D+0.1D=1.75
0.15D=1.75-0.55
D=1.2/0.15
D=8
Step 3
replace the value of D into equation(2) to obtain N
N=11+8
N=11+8
N=19
Hence, Lee has 19 nickels and 8 dimes
Have a great day.
