3/7. if you make them equivalent fractions it would be 30/70 or 14/70. 30/70 is bigger.
X=hours of plan A
y=hours of plan B
wed: 5x+6y=12
thu: 3x+2y=6
so
5x+6y=12 and
3x+2y=6
we can eliminate y's by multiplying 2nd equation by -3 and adding to first equation
-9x-6y=-18
<u>5x+6y=12 +</u>
-4x+0y=-6
-4x=-6
divid both sides by -4
x=-6/-4
x=3/2
x=1.5
sub back
3x+2y=6
3(1.5)+2y=6
4.5+2y=6
2y=1.5
y=0.75
Plan A=1.5 hours
Plan B=0.75 hours
Percent means parts out of 100
74%=74/100=0.74
'of' means multiply
so
128 is 74% of what means
128=0.74 times what
divide both sides by 0.74
172.97297297297297297297297297297=what
the number is about 173
