A recipe for cookies calls for 3 1/4 cups of sugar. Amy has already put in 3 1/9 cups. How many more cups does she need to put in?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: so 3 and 1/4 is equal to 4/4+4/4+4/4+1/4=13/4

so she put in 3 and 1/9 or 9/9+9/9+9/9+1/9 or 28/9

28/9+x=13/4
13/4-28/9=x

so we convert so that the bottom numbers are the same

a short cut is 3 and 1/4+x=3 and 1/9 
3 1/9+x=3 1/4
subtract 3 from both sides
1/9+x=1/4
subtract 1/4 from both sides
x=1/4-1/9
convert bottom number to same thing
1/9=4/36
1/4=9/36
x=9/36-4/36
x=5/36
5/36 cups
Answer 2
Answer: the answer in 5/36 of a cup

Emily's meal cost $32.75 and darren's meal cost $38.88. emily treats darren by paying for both meals,and leaves a 14% tip. find the total cost

Answers

first add them
32.75+38.88=71.63

100%+14%=114%

find 114% of 17.63
percent means parts ouf o 100
114%=114/100=1.14

'of' means multiply


114% of 71.63 means
1.14 times 71.63=81.6582
round to neaest cent
81.66

answer is total cost=$81.66
$32.75+$38.88=$71.63. Add the 14% tip by multiplying that by 1.14 (114%):
$71.63*1.14=$81.66. An overpriced meal for two people, I think.

What is the solution to the linear system of equations? y = 3x + 1 y = –x + 5

Answers

y = 3x + 1
y = –x + 5

3x + 1 = -x + 5
4x + 1 = 5
4x = 4

x = 1

y = 3(1) + 1
y = 3 + 1
y = 4

The solution to the linear system of equations is (1, 4).
