To solve this, you need to make the amount they built on Monday and the amount they built on Tuesday compatible with each other so you can add them together to subtract that amount from 4.
Start by multiplying 1/2 by 3, and 1/3 by 2.
This gives you 3/6 and 2/6. Now add them together:
3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6
Finally, subtract this amount from 4:
4 - 5/6 = 3 1/6 (19/6 works too)
Hope this helps! :)
7x - 5y = 21....(4,?)...so sub in 4 for x and solve for y
7(4) - 5y = 21
28 - 5y = 21
-5y = 21 - 28
-5y = - 7
y = 7/5
check..
7(4) - 5(7/5) = 21
28 - 35/5 = 21
28 - 7 = 21
21 = 21 (correct)
the other coordinate is 7/5......(4,7/5)
To solve for this, set up a proportion.
21/40 = x/100.
Cross multiply the fraction's numerators with the denominators;
21 x 100, 40 and x.
2100/40x.
Divide both numbers by 40 to get x.
2100/40 = 52.5
21 is 52.5% of 40.
I hope this helps!
