Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let larger number be x and the other be y.

x - y = 18

x = 18+y

now, x + y = 116

therefore, 18+y+y= 116

18 + 2y =116

2y = 116-18

2y = 98

y = 98/2 = 49

larger number = 49 + 18 = 67

At total of 2 feet of snow falls over three days on the first day 1/6 of the snow falls on the second day 7/12 of the snow falls

ioda

Answer:

$Day\ 3 = 1\frac{3}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total = 2ft$

$Day\ 1 = \frac{1}{6}$

$Day\ 2 = \frac{7}{12}$

Required

Determine the amount of snow on day 3

This can be calculated using:

$Day\ 1 + Day\ 2 + Day\ 3 = Total$

Substitute values for the known parameters

$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{7}{12} + Day\ 3 = 2$

Collect Like Terms

$Day\ 3 = 2 - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{7}{12}$

Take LCM

$Day\ 3 = \frac{24 - 2 - 7}{12}$

$Day\ 3 = \frac{15}{12}$

Express as mixed number

$Day\ 3 = 1\frac{3}{12}$
