Answer:

x=21

y= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 28

x = 3y

Substitute the second equation into the first

3y+y = 28

4y = 28

Divide by 4

4y/4 = 28/4

y = 7

Now we need to find x

x = 3*y

x = 3*7

x = 21

There are 25 questions on your math test. You have completed 5 questions so far. What fraction of the total questions do you sti

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have completed $5$ questions, you still have $25-5=20$ more questions to answer. We need to find what fraction $20$ is of $25$ , if that makes sense. A fraction is simply a part over a whole. In this case, the part is $20$ and the whole is $25$ . Therefore, the fraction we are looking for is $\frac{20}{25}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{4}{5}$ . Hope this helps!
