Answer:
C. 1/2
There are many ways to do this but I'll use substitution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Bottom equation yields x = 4 - 8y
plug that into the top equation results in:
4(4 - 8y) - y = 3y + 7
Simplify this to find y:
-36y = -9
y = 1/4
Plug that into the bottom equation we get:
x = 4 - 2 = 2
Thus, xy = 2(1/4) = 1/2 (C)
Answer:
Jane used 2/5 of a scoop more of brown sugar than she did with white sugar.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to find how much more something is from something else, you subtract. So, subtract 9/10-1/2. If you want to subtract, they should both have the same denominator. So, 9/10-1/2 is the same as 9/10-5/10. 9/10-5/10 is equal to 4/10 which is simplified to 2/5.
Answer:
30 is 75% of 40
Step-by-step explanation:
We have, 75% × x = 30 or, 75/100
x = 30. Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 75, x = 40.
And if you are using a calculator, simply enter 30×100÷75, which will give you the answer.
Turn 2 1/8 into an improper fraction. Multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator. 2 x 8 + 1= 17. Improper fraction is 17/8. So is 17/8 x 16/1. 16 x 17= 272. This is 272/8. Now simplify. Answer is 34
Answer:
The answer is 3 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
-There are 2 simple ways to do this.
-The first is just subtracting 3/4 and 1/4 which equals 2/4 or 1/2.
-The second way is to turn it into an improper fraction.
-(5*4)+3=23 and (2*4)+1=9.
-23/4-9/4=14/4
-14/4=3 1/2
