We have to divide 9/10 by 3/12.
if we divide by a fraction, we can instead multiply by it's inverse:
so now we count:
so we can cut exactly 3 pieces!
I count 4 green stars and 6 red stars
ratio of green to red would be
4 green : 6 red
4:6
if you divide both numbers by 2, cause theyre both even
2:3
Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire album = y dollars
In respect to person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
In respect to person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second, we get
4x + 3(12.96 - 3x) = 33.93
4x + 38.88 - 9x = 33.93
- 5x = - 4.95
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation, we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
= 12.96 - 2.97
= 9.99 dollars
Answer:
the scale is balanced both times <em>as shown below</em>.
No scale is shown
Step-by-step explanation:
First, make sure that all the variables are in one side. The first equation is gonna be x-y=3
Second, we are going to eliminate the y because it is much easier, but you can also eliminate the x
We have to add both equation because the y in the first equation is negative and in the second equation it’s positive.
We are left with 3x=9
Therefore, x=3
Last, substitute x= 3 in one of the equations
Y=6
P.O.I is (3,6)
