8724/25 = 348.96
When you say "over" that means that it has to be divided that short subtraction sign that separates the numerator and the denominator and also means divide so I believe that if you divide you can find the decimal.
The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let
and
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

And then solve for
:

For the second problem, let
and
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
Answer:
Division. The niece can divide both sides of the equation by 19 to find the answer.
Let me know if this helps!
Distribute first.
.75 times 8 + .75 times e, which is 6+.75e = 2-1.25e
Then subtract 2 from both sides,
4+.75n=-1.25e
Next subtract .75 from both sides,
4=-2e
Divide both sides by -2, and you will get e= -2. Hope this helps!
