Answer:
red = 28 apples
green = 13 apples
equations:
r + g = 41
r = g + 15
Step-by-step explanation:
r = number of red
g = number of green
r = g + 15 (the number of red apples is 15 more than the number of green apples)
r + g = 41
Substitute the firs equation into the second and solve for a numerical value of g
(g + 15) + g = 41
2g + 15 = 41
2g = 26
g = 13
Now solve for a numerical value of r
r = g + 15
r = 13 + 15
r = 28
checking the math:
r + g = 41
28 + 13 = 41

Answer:
$5.625
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per pound of beef = $1.25 per pound
Number of pounds purchased = 3.5 pounds
Amount given to cashier = $10.00
Amount of change to receive from cashier =?
Amount issued to cashier - total cost of beef
Total cost of beef = (number of pounds * cost per pound)
Total cost of beef = (3.5 * 1.25) = $4.375
$10 - $4.375 = $5.625
No I do not think that 12/60 and 16/40 are equivalent because onec you reduce both of the fractions it does not equal.
