Alright, so since I don't have an example question, I will make one up.
there are 8 coins in total. there are 6 dimes. What is the fraction of dimes to coins.
you would put the amount of dimes on the top and the total on the bottom.
Answer: 6/8 which can be simplified to 3/4
Or another Example:
There are 12 pieces in the pizza. Billy took 4. what is the fraction of the slices left.
it would be 4-12= 8
Answer: 8/12 which can be simplified to 4/6 and then to 2/3
Hope that helped.

Answer: $11.41
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set up a system of equations with x being the smaller number and y being the larger number. So the first equation would be 2y=5x-14 and the second equation would be x=y-2. You can solve by substitution and substitute y-2 into the x in the first equation to get 2y=5(y-2)-14. You can solve this out and it ends up simplifying to y=8. So you know the larger number is 8. So since the larger number is 8 and they are consecutive even integers, the smaller number must be 6. So the two numbers would be 6 and 8.
