The art teacher asked her students to cut out 1045 apples and 1463 leaves from construction paper five apples can be cut from a sheet of paper 7 leaves can be cut from a sheet of paper how many sheets of paper does she need write equation to find the unknown then find the unknown

From each construction paper number of apples can be cut = 5.

From a sheet of paper number of leaves can be cut = 7.

Let us assume number of construction paper required = x.

Therefore, x construction paper would cut out = 5x apples.

But we need to cut total 1045 apples.

Therefore, we can setup first equation as :

5x = 1045.

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

5x/5 = 1045/5

x=209.

Let us assume number of sheet of paper required = y.

Therefore, y number of sheet of paper would cut out = 7y.

But we need to cut total 1463 leaves.

Therefore, we can setup second equation as:

7y = 1463.

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

7y/7 = 1463/7

y = 209.

Therefore,

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
