Answer:
2x - 0.4x ;
8x/5 ;
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of miles = x
Arlene:
Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x
Subtract 20% of the result :
2x - 20% of 2x ;
2x - 0.4x
Raul:
Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5
Multiplies result by 8 ;
8 * (x/5) = 8x /5
To know if expressions are equivalent :
Let x = 10 miles
Using Arlene's expression:
2x - 0.4x
x = 10
2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16
Using Raul's expression :
8x / 5
(8*10) / 5
80/5
= 16
Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent
There's a bunch of them like if you simplify you could get 3/4.I'll give you some more.
Examples:14/16 21/24 28/32 and 35/40.
My brain was getting tired to think...but there's more.
Hope this helps :D
In decimal form, 5/4 is equal to 1.25
