Answer:

12 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this through a system of equations.

one number is a third of the other

1/3x = y

added together they equal sixteen

x + y = 16

substitute in for y

1/3x + x = 16

x = 12

put this in the original equation and

y = 4

Answer: 4 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "another number"

Therefore, "one number" is 1/3x

1/3 x + x = 4/3 x

4/3 x = 16

1/3 x = 4

x = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 4 and 12.

Miguel reels his teacher that 1/5 is the same as 20% what best justifies Miguel’s answer
horrorfan [7]
If you do the proportion, you have to put 1/5 = 20/100. The 20 represents the percentage. Then you have to say to yourself that how many time 5 goes to 100, well its x20 then if we multiply 1 x 20 we'll get 20. So, he is correct, 1/5 = 20%. Remember what number we think of when we hear the word percent, the number is 100.
