Atorch and a battery cost £2.50 altogether. the torch costs £2.00 more than the battery.
what fraction of the total price is the battery? give your answer in it's simplest form

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what fraction of the total price the battery is, we need to find out how much the battery alone is first.

Since the battery and torch together are £2.50 and the torch is £2.00, we can find the price of the battery by subtracting the total price to the price of the torch.

Battery Price = £2.50 - £2.00

Battery Price = £0.50

The fraction value of the torch is:

2.00 of 2.50 = 4/5

That then leaves us with:

0.50 of 2.50 = 1/5

To check we need to add the two fractions together.

1/5 + 4/5 = 5/5 or 1

paula, cory, and krista

no, the equation would be invalid since they are both not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

here you got

4y-6+4y 2-9

first, you would simplify the equation on the form.

4y-6+4y 2-9

then, move all the terms that contains a y to the left and all the other terms to the right.

+4y-4y+-9-6

finally, you will simplify the left and the right side of the equation.

y=-3
