X = how much Tim has
y = how much Tom has
x + y = 2.40
x = 3y
Substitute 3y for x
3y + y = 2.40
4y = 2.40
y = 0.60
Plug in y value into previous equation
x = 3(0.60)
x = 1.80
ANSWERS: Tim has $1.80 and Tom has $0.60
Answer:
415
Step-by-step explanation:
970 divided by 2 = 485, 485 + 70 = 555
970 - 555 = 415, so your answer is 415
In general, any equation like 
(assuming 
) is solved by
So, in your case, the solution is
Dividing by a fraction means to multiply by the inverse of that fraction:
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Karen divided her garden into equal parts of which she intend to plant corn in ⁸/20 of it.
This implies that she divide the garden was divided into 20 parts.
To determine the fewer number of parts she can divide her garden into, simply ⁸/20.
Thus:
8/20 = (2*4)/(5*4)
= ²/5 (4 cancels out 4)
Therefore, this implies that the least number of parts she can divide her garden into is 5.
