2.8 = 2 + 0.8
*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction
0.8 = 8/10
*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:
(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5
*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:
2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5
*Now we add the fractions together:
2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5
10/5 + 4/5
*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5
(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5
*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:
answer is: 14/5
Answer:
Answer D is the correct answer 4x+1
Answer:
w = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(5, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = - 2 → (1)
3x - y = 19 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
9x - 3y = 57 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
(2x + 9x) + (3y - 3y) = (- 2 + 57), that is
11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
2(5) + 3y = - 2
10 + 3y = - 2 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
3y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = - 4
Solution is (5, - 4 )
7/10 would be equivalent to 0.7
Hope this helped! :)
