Answer:
The family spends 41/60 of its income on these items altogether.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a family spends 1/10 of it's annual income for housing, 1/4 for food and clothing, 1/5 for general expenses and 2/15 for entertainment, to determine what fractional part of their income is spent on these items altogether the following calculation must be performed:
10, 4, 5, and 15 have a common least multiple at 60.
1/10 = 6/60
1/4 = 15/60
1/5 = 12/60
2/15 = 8/60
6 + 15 + 12 + 8 = 41
Therefore, the family spends 41/60 of its income on these items altogether.
Answer:the error is when 6y=12
Step-by-step explanation:
the original problem says 4x-6y=12
so when you get rid of the 4x, it should still be -6y not positive
The final answer should be -49/168.
59 is a prime number
so 59=1*59
it only has two factors
