Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52

What is 5/8 divided by 1/4
Llana [10]

Answer:

Exact form: 5/2

Decimal form: 2.5

Mixed number form: 2 and 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

when you divide a fraction you keep, change, flip

Equation: 5/8 ÷ 1/4

keep 5/8 the same

change the divide symbol into a multipulcation symbol

flip 1/4 the other way, so it's 4/1 (it's a whole number now)

then just multiply across

Equation now: 5/8 × 4/1

On a scale drawing with a scale of 1/20, the height of the building is 8 inches. How tall is the actual building in feet?
Alecsey [184]
That means its downgraded to 1/20 of actual height, let actual height is x. Then 
(1/20) * x = 8, x = 20 * 8 = 160, actual height = 160 inch
160 inch = 160/12 feet = 13 1/3 feet or 13.333 feet.
