Write a fraction that is between 0.1 and 1/5, has a whole-number numerator, and has a denominator of 100. Then express an equivalent decimal form and for this fractionHELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Ok, so in other words, the decimal 0.1, is also known as 1/10. Because it is 1 tenth of one hundred, for the decimal place value. So, then you would want to multiply the 1/5 by 2, the top and bottom, numerator and denominator, by 2 to get it equal, or like terms, with 1/10. You would get 2/10. So, you are now looking for a number in between 1 and 2 with a denominator, or bottom number, of 100. To find that number, you will want to multiply the fractions, 1/10 and 2/10 by 10 get the denominator to 100. So, 1 times 10 is 10, and 10 times 10 is 100. So, you will end up with 10/100 for the first fraction and 20/100 for the second fraction. Then, you can make a fraction that has a whole number that is in between 10 and 20. I would pick 12, and then transfer that over to a decimal. So, it would become 0.12, since it is 12 percent, or 12 parts, of 100.

Let's see -

Let's solve the first question step-by-step

(WARNING - This may confuse you a little)

1)

4 1/8 + 2 1/3

= 33/8 + 2 1/3

= 33/8 + 7/3

= 155/24

= 6 11/24 --------> Note that this is your final answer and it already looks simplified down to its simplest form. :)

_____________________________________________________

2) This equation, as far as solving it, is no different than number 1. Let's go for it!

5 17/18 - 2 2/3

= 107/18 - 2 2/3

= 107/18 - 8/3

= 59/18

= 3 5/18 -----------------> This is your final answer, and, as before, it looks simplified enough.

Jessica has no books.wesley has 2 more books than jessica.how many books does wesley have ?

Answers

Let

x---------> the number of books that Jessica has

y---------> the number of books that Wesley has

we know that

x=0 --------> equation 1

y=x+2 --------> equation 2

Substitute equation 1 in equation 2

y=(0)+2

y=2

therefore

the answer is

Wesley has 2\ books

2 books. 0 + 2 is 2. Therefore, Wesley has 2 books.
