Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cockles be c and that of winkles be w.
From the first relation,
w = 2c ..........(I)
From the second relation, 6 winkles are accidentally split.
This in equation form means the following:
c/w- 6 = 3/5
By cross multiplication,
5c = 3(w - 6)...........(ii)
We know w = 2c , let’s substitute this into the second equation.
5c = 3(2c - 6)
5c = 6c - 18
Collecting like times, c = 18
And w = 2c = 2(18) = 36
Hence, there were initially 18 cockles and 36 winkles
Answer:
z= 104
y=76
x=76
Step-by-step explanation:
z+76= 180. solve for z
z=x
y=76
Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
No because irrational cant be a simple fraction and 9/15
is 0.6
so... it is not irrational
