Answer:
The coefficient matrix is singular, so there are no solutions or infinite solutions.
The two equations in the linear system are the same, so there are infinite solutions.
Yes, there are solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
2852.1 rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile is still 2852.1
Question is: how many 84s will fit in 5376? Let's think about some easy multiples:
84 * 100 = 8400, so it's too big
84 * 10 = 840, so it might work
84 | 5376 | 10
-840
84 | 4536 | 10
-840
84 | 3696 | 10
-840
84 | 2856 | 10
-840
84 | 2016 | 10
-840
84 | 1176 | 10
-840
84 | 336
We can't fit any more 840 in 336, so we check how many 84s are in 336 and what's the remainder:
84 | 336 | 4
- 336
So there's no remainder. Now we add all the partial quotients to get the final result:
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 4 = <u>64
</u>It's correct, I checked it with calculator. I just hope you'll be able to read something from that, it's quite difficult to do partial dividing with no pencil and paper :)
