Rewrite the length as an improper fraction.
21 7/8 = 175/8
Write the quantity of stamps as a fraction: 25/1
Divide length by number of stamps:
175/8 / 25/1
When dividing by a fraction change the sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction over:
175/8 x 1/25.
Now multiply numerators and then denominators:
(175 x1) / (8x 25) = 175/200
Simplify to 7/8
Each stamp is 7/8 inches long
Answer:
Uwm am I famous but I'm doin dis for free points sowwy
The answer is D. The nearest hundred thousand in this case would be 6 and the next number is 5 or more, we raise it up 1.
The answer is chicken $8, duck $5
x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck
<span>he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
</span><span>he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
</span>50x + 30y = 550 divide by 10
44x + 36y = 550 divide by 4
______________
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 550/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
______________
5x + 3y = 55 Multiply by (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
5x * (-3) + 3y * (-3) = 55 * (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
-15x - 9y = -165
11x + 9y = 133
______________
Sum up:
-4x + 0y = -32
-4x = -32
x = -32/-4
x = 8
Since 5x + 3y = 55 and x = 8, then:
5 * 8 + 3y = 55
40 + 3y = 55
3y = 55 - 40
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5
