Jessica and alex use ribbon to decorate picture frames. jessica has 1/2 yards of ribbon : she uses ribbon to decorate 3 picture frames : she uses and equal amount ribbon to decorate each picture frame how many yards of ribbon does jessica use to decorate each pucture frame a. 1/6 b. 1 c. 3/2 d. 6

Hello there!

If Jessica uses 3 equal sizes for all three picture frames, and she only has 1/2 of a yard, one easier way that we can convert this would be that there are 0.5 = 18 inches of Ribbon.

18 ÷ 3 = 6 ... 6 × 3 = 18.

Your correct answer would be D. 6

none cuz there are no "following statements" regarding the question

step-by-step explanation:

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
