Answer:
To find a common denominator of two fractions, you have to find a number that both denominators of the given fractions will divide into. And to find a common multiple, you have to find a number that both given numbers will divide into.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to write the equation. in the scenario, use standard form.
Ax+By=C
plug the numbers in. A=2.50, B=1.25, and C is the total, 356.25. the 180 doesn't come in quite yet.
your equation is 2.50x+1.25y=356.25. now, since they only bought 180 items, you can't go past that.
I am sorry, but I am about to leave for school, and therefore do not have enough time to answer the last of your question. I hope the part I could answer has helped you.
Find the decimal equivalent of each and then put in order.
Steve 130 5/6= 130.83333
Riley 130 2/3= 130.66666
Nikolas 130.5
Carrie 130 7/12= 130.58333
Jorja 130.25
Now that they each have a decimal equivalent, we can put them in order from greatest to least.
Steve 130 5/6= 130.83333
Riley 130 2/3= 130.66666
Carrie 130 7/12= 130.58333
Nikolas 130.5
Jorja 130.25
ANSWER: A) Steve, Riley, Carrie, Nikolas, Jorja
Hope this helps! :)
