Answer:
x=0.8, y=2.2 (0.8, 2.2).
Step-by-step explanation:
y+x=3
y=1.5x+1
-------------
1.5x+1+x=3
2.5x=3-1
2.5x=2
x=2/2.5
x=0.8
y+0.8=3
y=3-0.8
y=2.2
The easiest way is to use (& to memorize) the sum formula for a AP:
Sum = 1st term added to the last term & multiplied by half the number of terms
S = (a+l)n/2
S = (5 + 53)(7/2) = 203
There are 12 inches in a foot. To find how many inches are in 5 feet, multiply by 12:
5*12 = 60 inches
Add the 8 additional inches:
60 + 8 = 68 inches
The answer is 68.
Answer:
20%
Explanation:
What we know:
- there are 25 cans in total
- 5 of them are root beer cans
Using this information, we can say that 5/25 cans are root beer cans. To find the percent, we change the fraction into a decimal and then multiply it by 100.
To change 5/25 into a decimal, we divide the numerator and denominator.
5/25=0.2
And we multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent:
0.2*100=20
Therefore, 20% of Cam’s cans are root beer cans.

The best way to compare fractions is to find the LCM (The Lowest Common Denominator) of each of the fractions. This can be done simply by listing the multiples of the denominators.
Multiples:
3: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27...210,213
10:10,20,30,40,60,70,80...210,220
6: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48...210,216
7: 7,14,21,28,35,42,49...210,217
The LCM is 210:
3*70=210
10*21=210
6*35=210
7*30=210
Now, we must do what we do the denominators to the numerators:
1*70=70
70/210
2*21=42
42/210
1*35=35
=35/210
2*30=60
=60/210
The fraction with the largest numerator has the greatest value; In this case it 1/3 or 70/210.
Hope this helps.
