Convert any mixed numbers to fractions
Then your initial equation becomes
48/5 divided by 29/3
Answer:
p=-6
q=3
Step-by-step explanation:
5p-3q=-39
-2p-3q=3
Multiply the second equation by -1
2p +3q = -3
Add the first equation and the modified second equation
5p-3q=-39
2p +3q = -3
---------------------
7p = -42
Divide by 7
7p/7 = -42/7
p = -6
Now we can find q
2p +3q = -3
2(-6) +3q = -3
-12 +3q = -3
Add 12 to each side
-12+12 +3q = -3+12
3q = 9
Divide by 3
3q/3 = 9/3
q=3
1/2 of the class are 5th and 4th
1/2 of 96= 48
1/4 of 48 =12
