Answer:

<em>The baker bought 8 apples and 4 bananas</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's call:

a = pounds of apples

b = pounds of bananas

The baker bought a total of 12 pounds of apples and bananas, thus:

a + b = 12      [1]

Apple cost $0.75 per pound and each pound of bananas cost $1.05 per pound. Thus the total cost is 0.75a + 1.05b. We know he spent a total of $10.20, thus

0.75a + 1.05b = 10.20     [2]

Solving [1] for a:

a = 12 - b       [3]

Substituting in [2]:

0.75(12 - b) + 1.05b = 10.20

Operating

9 - 0.75b + 1.05b = 10.20

Simplifying:

0.30b = 10.20 - 9 = 1.20

Dividing by 0.30:

b = 1.20/0.30

b = 4

From [3]:

a = 12 - 4 = 8

a = 8

The baker bought 8 apples and 4 bananas

Sounds as tho' you have an isosceles triangle (a triangle with 2 equal sides).  If this triangle is also a right triangle (with one 90-degree angle), then the side lengths MUST satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

Let's see whether they do.

8^2 + 8^2 = 11^2  ???
 64    + 64 = 121?  NO.  This is not a right triangle.

If you really do have 2 sides that are both of length 8, and you really do have a right triangle, then:

8^2 + 8^2 = d^2, where d=hypotenuse.  Then 64+64 = d^2, and 

d = sqrt(128) = sqrt(8*16) = 4sqrt(8) = 4*2*sqrt(2) = 8sqrt(2) = 11.3.

11 is close to 11.3, but still, this triangle cannot really have 2 sides of length 8 and one side of length 11.

7/10+6/100= how do solve this problem
kondor19780726 [428]
We need to find the Lowest Common Denominator = LCD lowest is 100
10 x 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
100 x 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000. which is the lowest and common? 100
7/10  /100 how many times can 10 go into 100? 10 times. so we will multiply 10 time the numerator which is 7, and now will be 70/100
6/100 /100 how many times can 100 go into 100? 1 time. so we will multiply 1 time the numerator 6 which equals 6. 6/100
now add the new fractions. 70/100 + 6/100 = 76/100
