Answer:
3/4(-10+2+2/5)
answer -5.7
Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 26 cents, Because to the process that is in the image.
A rational number can always be represented as a fraction.
5.2 = 52/10
5.5 = 55/10
A number between them would be 54/10 since 54 is between 52 and 55.
An irrational number cannot be represented as a fraction. A good example of an irrational number is the square root of a number.
sqrt(5.2^2) = 5.2 ----> 5.2^2 = 27.04
sqrt(5.5^2) = 5.5 ----> 5.5^2 = 30.25
The square root of a number between 27.04 and 30.25 will be an irrational number between 5.2 and 5.5
sqrt(28) = 5.2915...
Answer:
Olga's mistake was in Step 3 because she divided the entire equation by 3 instead of dividing it by 1/3.
Answer:
Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.
As per the statement:
Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.
"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x
"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3
⇒
.....[1]
It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.
⇒
.....[2]
Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;

Combine like terms;
3x-3 =15
Add 3 to both sides we get;
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3 we get;
x = 6
Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;
y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9
y = 9
Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;
Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9
