Answer:

Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

2.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Aniya states that the quotient of -5 divided by 20 is an irrational number. Explain if you agree or disagree with her statement.
pochemuha

Answer:

-5 divided by 20 isn't an irrational number because the quotient of that problem equals -0.25. If the decimal form of a number stops or repeats, the number is rational. If the decimal does not stop and does not repeat, the number is irrational. Therefore, since -0.25 stops, it is a rational number, and not an irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry if the explanation isn't good, or there are some grammar mistakes. But i hope this helps :)

Using pemdas what’s the correct solution
SSSSS [86.1K]

4- 2/3 (4-1/6) divided by 3/4

parenthesis first

4 - 2/3 (3 5/6) divided by 3/4

change to an improper fraction (6*3+5)/6

4 - 2/3 ( 23/6)divided by 3/4

4 - 46/18 divide by3/4

copy dot flip

4 - 46/18 * 4/3

4 - 23/9 * 4/3

4 - 92/27

get a common denominator of 27

4*27/27 -92/27

108/27 - 92/27

16/27
