OPTION A is the correct answer.
Because (4*3) + 3 = 15. Similary find the improper fraction for -2 1/2.
(15/4) / (-5/2) = -3/2
Convert -3/2 into a mixed fraction.
Therefore, -3/2 = -1 1/2.
Answer:
Total cost = <em>$</em> 4.55
Step-by-step explanation:
2(8a + 5b) -(2a + 3b)
<em>Part A: Simplify the expression shown above</em>
Exapanding the brackets;
16a + 10b - 2a - 3b
Collecting like terms;
16a - 2a + 10b - 3b
14a + 7b
<em>Part B: If a represents apples that cost $0.25 each and b represents bananas that cost SO. 15 each, what is the total cost based on the expression above?</em>
a = 0.25
b = 0.15
14a + 7b
Inserting the values into the equation;
14 (0.25) + 7(0.15)
Total cost = <em>$</em> 4.55
I think is 1/27.6 because 2x equals 4 and times 3 equals 12. 5.2y equals 15.6. Then 15.6 plus 12 equals 27.6.
