(-7/8) / (-1 2/5) = (-7/8) / (-7/5) = (-7/8) * (-5/7) = 5/8
1 2/3 + 1 5/6
We’ll start by converting the 2/3 to 6ths so we have a common denominator.
Look at the denominator first. 3 x 2 is 6, so we need to multiply the numerator by 2 as well. 2/3 = 4/6.
So we have 1 4/6 + 1 5/6 = 2 9/6
But you know they’ll want you to reduce that so it’s 3 3/6...or 3 1/2.
Let me know where you have questions.
For this case we first define varials:
x: number of hours working as cashier
y: number of hours working as a baby sit
We now write the system of equations:
6x + 6y ≥ 60
x + y ≤ 12
Answer:
to solve the real-world problem the system of inequalities is:
6x + 6y ≥ 60
x + y ≤ 12
