Answers:
- smaller number = 16
- larger number = 27
==========================================================
Explanation:
x = smaller number
2x-5 = larger number, since it's five less than twice the smaller number
The sum of both values is 43, so,
(smaller)+(larger) = 43
(x) + (2x-5) = 43
3x-5 = 43
3x = 43+5
3x = 48
x = 48/3
x = 16 is the smaller number
2x-5 = 2*16-5 = 32-5 = 27 is the larger number
Check: 16+27 = 43
The answer is confirmed.
They get the same sum and one has a -15 and on has a 15
27/8 = 3 3/8
3 whole pizzas were left
5/8 is left over because 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8
To round 0.472 to the nearest tenth consider the hundredths' value of 0.472, which is 7 and equal or more than 5. Therefore, the tenths value of 0.472 increases by 1 to 5.
So, the answer would be 0.5.
