Let’s call the numbers x and y. Let’s also say that x is the smaller of the two. Since their difference (the answer you get when you subtract is 44 and a half) we know that y-x=44.5
Next we are told that if the smaller increases 7 times (that means 7x) their difference would be 10 3/14. Let’s write that as a fraction. It is 14x10+3 over 14. That is 143/14.
So this means y-7x=143/14.
We have two equations and two unknowns (a system of equations). We write one over the other and subtract them to get:
y-x=44.5
y-7x=143/14
Subtracting yields:
(y-y)+(-x - - 7x) = 44.5 - 143/14
6x = (89/2) - (143/14)
6x= 623/14 - 143/14
6x=480/14
X= (480/14)(1/6)
X=80/14
x= 40/7 = 5 5/7
Since y-x=89/2
We get y - 40/7 = 89/2
Y = 40/7 + 89/2
Y = 80/14 + 623/14
Y = 703/14 = 50 3/14
Answer:
1.625
Step-by-step explanation:
The decimal of 5/8 is 0.625.
We can then add 1 to it, since it is a whole number
Therefore, we have 1 + 0.625 = 1.625
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached picture for full solution.
Given:
Total number of colored pencils = 16
Colored pencils fit in a box = 8
To find:
The number of boxed that will fit the 16 pencils.
Solution:
According to the question 8 colored pencils will fit in a box. So, we have
8 pencils = 1 box
Multiply both sides by 2.
2×8 pencils = 2×1 box
16 pencils = 2 box
Therefore, 2 boxes are required to fit the 16 colored pencils.
option a as 3 is outside of bracket it will be multiplied by what is in bracket sot the answer will equivalent to question
