Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 - 1 3/4 Because the denominator are already the same, all you have to do is make it a mixed number and subtract. To do that you multiply the whole number to the denominator and add that new number to the numerator. So you would then have.

9/4 - 7/4

Keep the denumerator the same and subtract the numerators.

2/4

Then simplify

1/2

Monday: 10 apples and 5 bananas cost £4.20 Friday: 8 apples and 10 bananas cost £5.40 Find the cost of each - with an explanatio
motikmotik

Answer:

An apple costs £0.25

A banana costs £0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be apples and b be bananas.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

Solve for a:

10a+5b=4.2

<em>Subtract 5b from both sides</em>

10a=4.2-5b

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

10a-4.2= -5b

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-10a+4.2=5b

8a+10b=5.4

<em>Subtract 10b from both sides</em>

8a=5.4-10b

<em>Subtract 5.4 from both sides</em>

8a-5.4= -10b

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-8a+5.4= 10b

<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>

-4a+2.7=5b

<u>Combine equations:</u>

-4a+2.7= -10a+4.2

<em>Add 10a to both sides</em>

6a+2.7=4.2

<em>Subtract 2.7 from both sides</em>

6a=1.5

<em>Divide both sides by 6</em>

a=0.25

An apple costs £0.25

Solve for b:

10a+5b=4.2

<em>Subtract 10a from both sides</em>

5b= -10a+4.2

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

5b-4.2= -10a

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-5b+4.2=10a

8a+10b=5.4

<em>Subtract 8a from both sides</em>

10b= -8a+5.4

<em>Subtract 5.4 from both sides</em>

10b-5.4= -8a

<em>Divide both sides by 4</em>

2.5b-1.35= -2a

Multiply both sides by 5

12.5b-6.75= -10a

<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>

-12.5b+6.75=10a

<u>Combine equations:</u>

-12.5b+6.75= -5b+4.2

<em>Add 12.5b to both sides</em>

6.75=7.5b+4.2

<em>Subtract 4.2 from both sides</em>

2.55=7.5b

7.5b=2.55

<em>Divide both sides by 7.5</em>

b=0.34

A banana costs £0.34

If you would like to check and see if it is true, (I already checked, it is) you can use the formulas I gave at the start of the explanation.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

a=0.25

b=0.34

if you know the order from least to greatest of 5 negative rational numbers how can you use the information to order the absolut
Zinaida [17]

Consider the ordering

... -2 < -1

Now consider the ordering of their absolute values:

... 1 < 2

_____

Hopefully, you see that changing the sign reflects the sequence across the origin, so that the ordering is reversed when the signs are changed.
