Answer:
3/5=12/20
12/16=6/8
Step-by-step explanation:
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

Answer:
- 27 hot dogs
- 13 bags of popcorn
Step-by-step explanation:
Had all received popcorn, the bill would have been 40×$1.75 = $70. The bill was $13.50 more than that. Each hot dog purchased in place of popcorn adds $0.50 to the bill, so the number of hot dogs must be ...
$13.50/$0.50 = 27
Of course, the remainder of the 40 items were popcorn, so 13 bags of popcorn.
27 hot dogs and 13 bags of popcorn were purchased.
Answer:
7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
(2/5)%(-4/7)
We will change the second fraction to make multiplication
So it will be 2/5×-7/4
=. -14/20
= -7/10
