We have two fractions being divided. When we divide two fractions, we flip the second fraction and multiply
1/12 divided by 1/6 = 1/12 * 6/1
-------
From here we multiply straight across.
The numerators multiply to get 1*6 = 6
The denominators multiply to 12*1 = 12
We end up with 6/12 which reduces to 1/2 when you divide both parts by the GCF 6
<h3>Final Answer: 1/2</h3>
I don't know if this answer is right but I think it would be 52
X= weight of TV
y= weight of CD
3x+5y= 62.5
3x+ 2y= 52
You can either solve for a variable, or eliminate a variable by subtracting the second equation from the first:
3x + 5y = 62.5
-(3x+2y = 52)
0 + 3y = 10.5, so y = 10.5/3 or 3.5.
Now plug y= 3.5 back into any equation to get x:
3x + 5(3.5) = 62.5
3x + 17.5 = 62.5
3x = 45
x = 15
Always check work. Both equations should be true for x=15, y= 3.5
Answer:
Dave is 18 and his sister is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you do 38 -7x2 you can work out the combined ages of them now which is 24 (you have to do 7x2 because there are two of them and its seven years in the future). Then you can work out their ages using a ratio. Dave’s age : his sister’s age is 3:1 so if you divide 24 by 4 (3+1 = 4 so your can work out one portion of their age) you can find out how old the sister is which is 6. Times that by 3 to get Dave’s age which is 18. A formula for this (where x is his sisters age) would be 3x=38-7x2 which cancels down to 6.
