Answer:
1.5 bananas to make each sundaes
Step-by-step explanation:
6 divided by 4
3 * N = 1
The multiplicative inverse is just the reciprocal of the number. The reciprocal is just " flipping " the number. So the reciprocal of 3 (or 3/1) is 1/3. And any time u multiply a number by its multiplicative inverse (reciprocal), the result is 1
3 * 1/3 = 3/3 = 1.....so N is ur multiplicative inverse
Let the two numbers are x and y
Let larger number = x
and smaller number = y
it means
x-y = 0.77
Now it says larger number is increased 5 times
So it now becomes 5x
So second equation becomes
5x -y =77
Now we have to solve these two equations
x-y = 0.77 and 5x-y = 77
multiply first equation by -1 and then add both equations
-x+y = -0.77
Now on adding we get
-x+5x +y -y = 77-0.77
4x = 76.23
Divide both sides by 4
x=19.0575
We get the larger number , now subtract 0.77 from this , we will get the smaller number
y=19.0575-0.77=18.2875
y=18.2875
Hence the larger number = 19.0575
Smaller number = 18.2875
