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

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

It can't be B because of the negative...

It would have to be less than 3.3 since 0.2 is less than and the 3.3 is negative

A and D are the same?

HELP ASAP IM BEING TIMEDD

Answer:

53/100

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we convert the fraction to a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:

8 / 15 = 0.533

There are two parts to the decimal number above:

Integer Part: 0

Fractional Part: 533

Now, we will make the Fractional Part just two digits (nearest hundredth) by using our rounding rules.*

In this case, Rule I applies, so 8/15 (or 0.533) rounded to the nearest hundredth in decimal format is:

0.53

 

Next, we will make 8/15 rounded to the nearest hundredth in fraction format. Since you can divide our decimal format answer above by 1 and keep the same value, you can make it like this:

0.53 = 0.53/1

Then, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of the decimal point:

(0.53 x 100) / (1 x 100) = 53/100

That's it. 8/15 rounded to the nearest hundredth is displayed below (simplified if necessary):

53/100
