Answer:
Explanation:
The expression that must be rewritten as a fully simplified fraction is:
You must, first, convert as a fraction.
The line over the decimal 4 means that the digit 4 repeats indefinetly.
To find the fraction that represents this number you follow this procedure:
Now, you can mutiply both fractions:
Lets work backwards, he had $5 after it all, and spent $1.25 on a snack, so we add that to the remainder, which is $6.25. then he spent half of that on whatever stuff he likes, so add $6.25 and $6.25, which is $12.50
Answer: An adult’s ticket costs $9 while a children’s ticket costs $5.
Step-by-step explanation:
1). 2x + 3y = 33
2). 5x + 2y = 55
3). I’m going to use substitution.
Isolate a variable (x):
2x + 3y = 33
2x = -3y + 33
X = (-3y + 33)/2
X = -3/2y + 33/2
Substitute and solve for y:
5x + 2y = 55
5(-3/2y + 33/2) + 2y = 55
-15/2y + 165/2 + 2y = 55
-11/2y = -55/2
Y = 5 <— children’s ticket.
Solve for x:
2x + 3y = 33
2x + 3(5) = 33
2x + 15 = 33
2x = 18
X = 9 <— adult’s ticket.
Check:
5x + 2y = 55
5(9) + 2(5) = 55
45 + 10 = 55
55 = 55
2x + 3y = 33
2(9) + 3(5) = 33
18 + 15 = 33
33 = 33
I have memorized facts about fractions like these, so can tell you ...
_____
A fraction with 9 as a denominator is a repeating 1-digit decimal with the decimal digit being the numerator of the fraction.
A fraction with 11 as a denominator is a repeating 2-digit decimal with the two digits being 9 times the numerator of the fraction.
1/8 = 0.125, so any multiple of 1/8 is that multiple of 0.125.
