2 1/2 because you divide the 15 by 6 and 2 R.3 3 is half of 6 so you make it a half leaving you with 2.5 or fraction form:2 1/2
3x +2y= 11 ----1
x -2 = -4y ---- 2
Equation 2 times by 3
3x -6 = -12y
Subracting 2-1
3x-6=-12y
3x-11=-2y
Leaving
5=-10y
y= -1/2
Hence
B. is the solution
PS, If you rate this as "Brainiest" that would be most appreciated
Make the fractions have common denominators.
rings 5 / 9 * 5/5 = 25/45
earrings 5/15 * 3/3 = 15/45
So, now we can compare 25 to 15. 25 is 5/3 bigger than 15.
or the ring inventory is 1.666666666... times greater than the earring inventory.
Well the 2 is in the thousands and the number before it is six and because of the number before 2 happens to be over 5 the 2 changes into a 3 thus making your answer 133,000
