Answer:

It is equivalent because of the way you solved it.

Answer:

To try to explain, I’m going to give you a new way to read fractions. For a/b, say “b of them make a”. For example, 1/3 is “3 of them make 1”, because 1/3+1/3+1/3=1. 2/7 is “7 of them make 2”, because 2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7+2/7=2. This works for whole numbers a and b.

You can change the numbers like so: “3 of them make 1” is the same as “6 of them make 2”, and so 1/3=2/6. Similarly “7 of them make 2” is the same as “14 of them make 4” so 2/7=4/14. “2 of them make 12” is the same as “1 of them makes 6”, so 12/2=6/1=6.

Now 1/0.1 is “0.1 of them make 1”. Whatever “they” are, you only need 0.1 of them to make 1, so “they” must be bigger than 1. How much bigger? Following the pattern, “0.1 of them make 1” is the same as “0.2 of them make 2”, “0.5 of them make 5”, and “1 of them makes 10”. So 1/0.1=10

The Math Club is selling shirts to raise money for a Pi Day Convention. Short sleeve shirts are $5 and long sleeved shirts are $
Sladkaya [172]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

# short sleeved shirts sold  is 50

# long sleeved shirts sold 35

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

First, you need to set up the equation.

(5x)+10*(85-x)=600

5x+850-10x=600

-5x+850=600

-5x=600-850

-5x=-250

x=50


After you solve the equation, you know, that 50 short sleeve t-shirts were sold. Now, you need to find out how many long sleeved t-shirts were sold. 85-50=35. Now you know, that there were 35 long sleeved t-shirt sold.

You can now check your answers. 50*5 + 35*10=600

That is correct.

I hoped I helped you. I will be really glad, if you mark my answer with brainliest.
