Step-by-step explanation:
S=smaller number; L=larger number=3S
.
4S+5L=133
4S+5(3S)=133
4S+15S=133
19S=133
S=7 ANSWER 1: The smaller number is 7.
L=3S=3(7)=21 ANSWER 2: The larger number is 21.
CHECK:
4(7)+5(21)=133
28+105=133
133=133
2+½, is just 2½, now divided by 1/4.
let's first convert the mixed fraction to improper, and then divide.
