John’s father will pay $300.
If you divide $500 into 5 equal parts, each part will be comprised of $100. In other words, 1/5 of $500 is $100. This is proven because $100 • 5 = $500.
But since you are trying to find 3/5 of $500, (not 1/5, which is what we just found). This means we must find the total value of 3 of the five equal parts. To do this, multiply
$100 • 3, since $100 is 1/5 of $500.
$100 • 3=$300, so the answer is B. Johns father will pay $300.
Answer:
Multiply both sides of the first equation by 2.
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y terms are
-3y
2y
The LCM of 2 and 3 is 6.
We need the y terms to add to zero.
Multiply both sides of the first equation by 2 to get -6y.
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 3 to get 6y.
Then -6y + 6y = 0 eliminating the y terms after adding the equations.
To simplify 174/216, all you do is keep dividing until the two numbers are <span>undivisable</span> by the same number. First I would divide by 2 to get 87/108. Then I would divide by 3 to get 29/36. 29 is a prime number therefore I can not divide by any whole number exact 1 and itself to get another whole number. Futhermore the answer is 29/36.
