Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call these numbers x and y and model the information we have.

x=1/5y

y-x=228 (we see that x is smaller than y in the first equation, so we put it second )

We see that x is equal to 1/5y. We can switch the x in the second equation with 1/5y and solve for y.

y-1/5y=228

4/5y=228

We divide both sides by 4/5.

y=285

We know that x is 1/5 of y, so we divide by 5.

285/5=57

x=57

So, our numbers are 57 and 285.

Have a wonderful day! :D

1. What is the value of 668 + 575 + 453, rounded to
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

E. 1,700 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you add 668 + 575 + 453 together.

668 + 575 + 453 = 1,696.

The hundreds place is the 9. Since the 9 is bigger than 4 it gets rounded up. That means the 6 in front of the 9 becomes a 7 and 9 and 6 become a zero.

E. 1,700 is your answer.
