Let x be a number of skateboards and y be the number of bicycles in Eddie's repair shop.
Eddie asks the girls to order 54 new wheels for 21 skateboards and bicycles, then
x+y=21.
One scateboard has 4 wheels, then x scateboards have 4x wheels, one bicycle has 2 wheels, then y bicycles have 2y wheels. In total there should be ordered 54 wheels, so
4x+2y=54.
Solve the system of equations:

From the first equation
Substitute it into the second equation:

Then

Answer: 6 scateboards and 15 bicycles.
Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, the statement is true, because to divide a fraction we have to turn the second fraction upside down and multiply them. Since a whole number x can be written as x/1, it also applies to the case of dividing a fraction by a whole number.
We can prove it with an example.
Dividing a unit fraction by a whole number
1/2 ÷ 2 = (1x1) / (2x2) = 1/4
Multiplying the unit fractions by a unit fraction with a whole number as a denominator
1/2 x 1/2= (1x1) / (2x2) = 1/4
Answer:
48 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
If they traveled 2400 miles and the total driving time was 50 hours, divide 2400/50 in order to find how many miles they drove per hour.
10/5 = 1/x
cross multiply
10x = 5
x = 5/10
x = 1/2...u need 1/2 gallon per fish
