Answer:
8 pencils for every 4 students
Step-by-step explanation:
One Way:
We can change the mixed number to a decimal for comparing.

m =

m = 1.25 m
1.4 m > 1.25 m
Darren > Luke
Darren's jump was higher by (1.4-1.25)
0.15 m
Or another way change the decimal to a fraction and the mixed to an improper fraction too.

=

(Luke)
1.4 =

(Darren)
We need a common denominator to compare

(Luke)

(Darren)

(Luke)

(Darren)

Darren > Luke
By:

-

=

Which is also by
0.15 m
Darren jumps higher and by 0.15 m
260 divided by 90 is 2.8 and you would probably want to round that up so 3 quarts
Answer:
Transitive Property
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use it for example: a = b. b = c. So a = c (Transitive Property).
X + y = 15
Rearrange this to isolate for x.
x = 15 - y
x + z = 20
Rearrange this to isolate for x also.
x = 20 - z
Since they are both equal to x, that means they are equal to each other (x = x)
Set them equal to each other.
15 - y = 20 - z
Now, isolate for y.
y = 15 - 20 + z
Now, use y + z = 25 and isolate for y.
y = 25 - z
Since they are both equal to y, we set them equal to each other.
15 - 20 + z = 25 - z
Solve for z
z + z = 25 - 15 + 20
2z = 30
2z/2 = 30/z
z = 15
Now you can plug the value for z into the other equations to find y and x.
x + z = 20
x +15 = 20
x = 20-15
x = 5
y + z = 25
y + 15 = 25
y = 25 - 15
y = 10
