Answer:

The numerator must be greater than 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that a certain fraction is greater than 2. Thus, if the numerator and denominator are x and y respectively, then we have;

x/y > 2

We are further told that the denominator is 8.

Thus;

x/8 > 2

Multiply both sides by 8 to give;

x > 16

Thus,the numerator must be greater than 16.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: A) x + 4x = 35; 7 large stones and 28 small stones

======================================================

Explanation:

x = number of large stones

4x = number of small stones

x+4x = total number of stones = 35

x+4x = 35 is the equation to solve

-----------

Let's isolate x

x+4x = 35

5x = 35

x = 35/5

x = 7 large stones are needed

4x = 4*7 = 28 small stones are needed
