Okay, I think I understand this. Our first step is to solve how long the string is after he used some of it to tie the package. I have a feeling we have to subtract 7/8 - 1/5. Find a least common multiple (in this case, it's 40) and our new fractions are 35/40 and 8/45. Subtract:
35/40 - 8/40 = 27/40.
I don't think this can be simplified down any further as they do not have any common factors. So with that in mind, let's divide 27/40 with 5/1 (5/1 is basically 5 wholes but in fraction version)
When dividing fractions, you want to use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this). Keep the first fraction the same (in this case, 27/40), change the sign from multiplication to division, and flip 5/1 to get it's reciprocal, 1/5. The equation will look like this:
27/40 * 1/5 = 27/200
So each piece is about 27/200 m in length (or 0.135 m in length).
If this is wrong, please let me know, but this is what I got out of this question. I hope this helped you :)
Answer:y=6.61,x=-6.46
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+7y=-26(×5)
-
5x+3y=-14(×3)
=15x+35y=-130
-
15x+9y=-42
subtracting the 2 equations =15x-15x+35y-9y=-130-(-42)
=26y=172
y=172÷26
y=6.61
substitute y in the first equation=3x+6.61=-26
3x=-26+6.61=-19.39
x=-19.39÷3
x=-6.46

Answer:
The total cost 
in dollars of going to the baseball game for 
people of a family can be given as:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
At a baseball game:
Cost of car parking = $5
Cost per ticket = $21
To write an equation in the form of 
representing the total cost of going to the baseball game.
Solution:
The total number of people in the family is =
Using unitary method to find the cost of tickets for persons.
If 1 ticket costs = $21
<em>Then, tickets will cost in dollars</em><em> = </em>
Fixed rate for car parking = $5
Thus, the total cost in dollars of going to the baseball game for people of a family can be given as:
