Question

School X and school Y play each other in a competition school x has eight morepoinys than school y. School x has three times as many points as school y. How many points does each school have

Answer 1

Answer:6 REPEATING.

Explanation:

Answer 2

School X: 8 points School Y: 2.6̅ or 6 repeating.

Explanation:

When you know that School X has 8 points, and School Y has 3 times less, you have to divide 8 by 3. When you do that, you get 2.6̅, or 2.6 repeating, which means that you have 2 that goes into 3 goes into 8 3 times, because 3 x 3 would be 9, which is bigger than 8. Anyway, when you divide again because you have to add a decimal point after the number to keep dividing, you keep getting 6. it's never going to change, because thats what 6̅ is. 6 REPEATING.

I hope this helps! ;)
