Answer:
The cost of one taco is $0.87 and the cost of one enchilada is $1.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of tacos be X
and cost of enchiladas be y
So, by using given data, we have following equations
3X + 2Y = 4.93 (1)
2X + 4Y = 6.38 (2)
So, first multiply 1st equation by 2 and 2nd equation by 3, then subtracting 1st equation by 2nd.
= 2 × ( 3X + 2Y = 4.93) (1)
= 3 × (2X + 4Y = 6.38) (2)
= - (6X + 4Y = 9.86) (1)
= 6X + 12y = 19.14 (2)
= 8Y = 9.28
Y = 9.28 ÷ 8 = 1.16
By putting the value of Y in equation 1, we get
3X + 2(1.16) = 4.93
3X + 2.32 = 4.93
X = 2.61 ÷ 3 = 0.87
Hence, the cost of one taco is $0.87 and the cost of one enchilada is $1.16.
Answer: three pieces.
The piece of wood is 6/8 inches long - this fraction can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Thus, he cuts a piece of wood that is 3/4 inches long into 1/4 inch pieces.
1 goes into 3 three times, so the piece of wood can be cut into three 1/4-inch pieces.
The answer to the problem is going to be 3
