Answer:
John is 16 and Maya is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
x=Maya's age
x+5=John's age
x+x+5=27
2x+5=27
-5 -5
2x=22
/2 /2
x=11
x+5=
11+5= 16
First a reciprocal is a fraction but flipped over. So so if we have x/y, it's recipricam is y/x.
this helps to know when you understand that dividing by a fraction is the same thing as multiplying by that fractions reciprocal.
So ifnwenhave b/c and divide it by x/y we can also say b/c multiplied by y/x. it isnthensame thing.
now to use this for your problem.
5/31 divided by 15/23
or
5/31 times 23/15
all we have to do is multiple the 2 numerator and denominator and get:
115/465
now to reduce. divide both by 5 first
23/91
both numbers are prime so that would be answer
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Rounding the answer would be 2 sheets of paper, but the exact answer would be 1 full sheet and 3/8 of a sheet.
-10+8x<6x-4 add 10 to both sides
8x<6x+6 subtract 6x from both sides
2x<6 divide both sides by 2
x<3
