Answer:

1 cupcake = $3.75

1 ice-cream = $4.50

1 doughnut = $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ice-cream + 1 cup cake = $12.75 ------------ [ 1 ]

1 ice-cream + 2 doughnuts = $7.50 ------------ [ 2 ]

1 cup cake + 1 doughnut + 1 ice-cream = $9.75 ------------ [ 3 ]

From [ 1 ] :

2 ice-cream + 1 cup cake = $12.75

1 cupcake = $12.75 - 2 ice-cream

Substitute [ 1 ] into [ 3 ]:

1 cup cake + 1 doughnut + 1 ice-cream = $9.75

$12.75 - 2 ice-cream + 1 doughnut + 1 ice-cream = $9.75

1 doughnut - 1 ice-cream = -$3 ------------ [ 4 ]

[ 2 ] + [ 4 ] :

3 doughnuts = $4.75

1 doughnut = $1.50

Substitute (1 doughnut = $1.50) into [ 2] :

1 ice-cream + 2 doughnuts = $7.50

1 ice-cream + 2 x $1.50 = $7.50

1 ice-cream + $3 = $7.50

1 ice-cream = $4.50

Substitute (1 ice-cream = $4.50) into [ 1 ]:

2 ice-cream + 1 cup cake = $12.75

2 x $4.50 + 1 cup cake = $12.75

1 cupcake = $12.75 - $9

1 cupcake = $3.75

Write an article on the topic health is wealth in about 180 words<br />

Mila [183]

If a person is not healthy, then he or she will find it very difficult to enjoy life. Balanced food, fresh air, exercise, good posture, plenty of rest, pure water, cleanliness, regular check-ups at the doctor and dentist " all helps keep our body machines running as they should.

A fit person is also more resistant to illnesses. The simplest way of keeping fit is by exercising regularly. But the exercises must be vigorous. Secondly we have to watch what we are eating. There should be enough fibre, protein, fruit, vegetables and vitamins. And of course our bodies need water. Water allows our blood to flow through the blood vessels thus supplying the body with vital nutrients. We must drink about six glasses a day.

We have to get enough sleep. All of us know how cranky we can get if we do not have enough sleep. And what's more " avoid stress, worry and tension, think positive! A bath or a shower every day is a good habit. It makes us clean but it also helps us to fall asleep better. Brushing our teeth is part of keeping clean.

How to convert 4.5 into a decimal

zepelin [54]

Answer:

do you mean a fraction? if so..

Step-by-step explanation:

Every number in decimal form, in which either decimals terminate or certain numbers after decimal point continue to repeat endlessly, can be written as a fraction. As the given number 4.5 terminates after first deciimal it can be written as fraction. Here we have 4.5=4510= 9/2

which as a fraction means 4 and because you have 1 left over from the 9 its 4 1/2 or 4.5 :)
