Answer: the two numbers are 46 and 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sum of two numbers = 83

Sum of two times the first number and three times the second number = 203

From the question :

Let the numbers = a and b respectively

a + b = 83 - - - (1)

2*a + 3*b = 203

2a + 3b = 203 - - - (2)

From (1) :

a + b = 83

a = 83 - b

Substitute a = 83 - b into (2)

2(83 - b) + 3b = 203

166 - 2b + 3b = 203

166 + b = 203

b = 203 - 166

b = 37

From;

a + b = 83

a = 83 - b

a = 83 - 37

a = 46

Convert 7/66 to a decimal equivalent

wlad13 [49]

$\frac{7}{66}$ = 0.10606

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{66}$

Since we have only one digit in the numerator and the denominator has 2 digits, we have to 0 along with 7, so that it becomes 70, 1 time 66 is 66, 70 - 66 = 4 is the remainder, so the quotient is 0.1, then along with 4 we have to add one 0 , so it becomes 40 which is lesser than 66 so one more 0 is added and then it becomes 400, 6 times 66 is 396, 400 - 396 = 4 again the process going on. The quotient is 0.10606...
