The sum of two numbers is 18. The quotient of the two numbers is 17. What are the two numbers?

1 answer:

5 0

Let the two numbers be x and y
x + y = 18 . . . . . . . . (1)
x/y = 17 . . . . . . . . (2)
from (2): x = 17y
substituting for x in (1), gives
17y + y = 18
18y = 18
y = 18/18 = 1
x = 17y = 17(1) = 17

Therefore the two numbers are: 1 and 17

Answer:

3/5=x

Step-by-step explanation:

3÷x=5

multiply both sides by x

x(3÷x)=(5)x

cancel out x on the left side of the equation

3=5x

divide both sides by 5

3/5=(5x)/5

cancel out 5 on the right side

3/5=x

Answer:

They will be picked up at 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ yards above sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider sea level as reference and positions above sea level as positive and below sea level as negative.

With respect to this reference,

the position of top most point is +17 $\frac{3}{4}$ yards

and the position of lower most point is -13 $\frac{1}{4}$ yards

⇒ The position of midpoint is $\frac{+17 \frac{3}{4} - 13 \frac{1}{4}}{2}$

= +2 $\frac{1}{4}$

∴ They will be picked up at 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ yards above sea level
