Hi! :)
It sounds like you need to multiply this fraction.
*16=6
So, Marge used 6 total inches of tape.
Hope this helps!
nindy thousand five hundred and twenty three. Hope this helps!
X+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.
The answer is 2 buckets
Explain:
Tim picked 1 7/12 and Fred picked 4 2/3
These as improper fractions are 19/12
And 8/3
To make these have the same denominator you would times the 8/3 by 4 to give 32/12
Take these two away, Fred has 13 more apples.
And as we calculated it with there being 12 in each bucket there would be one full bucket but we would need another bucket for the apple left
So Fred picked 2 more buckets than Tim.
Hoped it makes sense and that I helped
