It’s b because you simplify it to it’s simplest form
Let
x = loaves of bread
y = batches of muffins
You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
Resolving we have
x = 6-y (from (2))
replacing in (1)
3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
y = 21-17 = 4
Then substituting in (2)
x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2
Answer
Helena could bake:
2 loaves of bread
4 batches of muffins
The painter needs at least two gallons of paint to cover the wall.
To get this answer, you first need to find the area of the wall; by multiplying 20.5 x 16.4. This will get you 336.2.
Then, you need to divide 336.2 by 200. This will get you approx. 1.6.
If it's asking for partial gallons as well, stop here. Your answer is 1.6.
If not, continue.
Unless you're including partial gallons, you can't get 1.6 gallons of paint, so you need to round up. This will be 2 gallons.
Answer:
I'm not for sure about this one but if I did my math right it should be 68 sence it would be 48 if you didnt add 20
Word form - six.seven
Expand form - 6 + 0.7
