Step-by-step explanation:
OK so
Tomatoes = 2 3/8 = 19/8 (turned into improper fraction)
Asparagus = 1 1/4 =5/4
Potatoes = 2 7/8 = 23/8
Total vegetables used =
19/8 + 5/4 + 23/8 = 42/8 + 5/4 = 42+10/8 =52/8
Answer is 52/8 = 6.5
<u>Answer :</u><u> </u><u>52</u><u>/</u><u>8</u><u> </u><u>pounds</u><u> </u><u>were</u><u> </u><u>used</u><u> </u><u>altogether</u>
Let f be the height of the fir trees
Let p be the height of the pine trees
We know from the problem that
f + p = 21 and 4f = 24 + p
rearrange the 2nd equation to get p = 4f - 24 and substitute into the other equation
so...
f + 4f - 24 = 21
5f - 24 = 21
5f = 45
f = 9 - height of the fir tree
substitute back into the 1st equation
9 + p = 21
p = 12 - height of the pine tree
