If there were 10 strawberry cupcakes then chocolate would have the same number as 10= 1/2. Then 2/4 can be simplified to 1/2 meaning that Rick are 1/2 of 10 and 1/10 is just one out of the 10 strawberry cupcakes.
Rick ate 5 Chocolate Cupcakes
Steward are 1 Strawberry Cupcake
Convert the two fractions into simpler fractions: 3 2/5 --> 17/5 and 4 1/5 --> 21/5. Notice the the denominators are identical, so we simply add the numerators: (17 + 21)/5 = 38/5 = 7 3/5.
There is an easier way to do this, this is just the most clear way of seeing everything.
Answer:
c. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-1 is there because you can see that the starting point is 1 left from the y axis, and +4 because it starts four points above the x axis.
1) 11 1/8
2) 5/7
3)it would be 233/3 but since that isn't your option try going with 23/3
4) 10 / 16
5) 9/3 = 3 (aka 3/1 ) then 3/9 = 0.3.
Answer for number 5 ⬇
Therefore 9/3 would be your greatest
~the fractions doesn't equal each other~{meaning that the equal sign wouldn't be your answer} ~
~3/9 Would be lesser than 9/3~

Using the PSN method:
P = -9
S = 8
So N = 9,-1
Using 9 and -1 in the original equation gives:
