You can formulate your own equations by analyzing the given problem and its statements. You can do some illustrations so you can understand it better. Introduce some variables and the rest is algebra. For example:
An orange costs $2 while a banana costs $1.5. How many oranges and bananas do you have to buy such that the total cost would equal to $20. You bought a total of 12 fruits.
First, you have to introduce variables. Let 'x' be the number of oranges and 'y' be the number of bananas. One equation you can get from here is knowing the amount of total cost: 2x + 1.5y = 20. Then, the other equation would be knowing the amount of fruits: x+y=12. You have two unknowns and two equations. Hence, you can solve the problem. Solving them simultaneously, you would get that x=4 and y=8.
Answer:
The answer is 2/10 which simplifies to 1/5
I don't know the second one:(
It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.
<h3>What is speed?</h3>
Speed is the rate of change of distance.
Analysis:
If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm
speed = d/t
speed of kitten = 1/2
speed of puppy = 2/3
1/2 = x/t
2/3 = 14 - x / t
t = 2x--------1
2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2
substitute t in equation 2
2(2x) = 3(14 - x)
4x = 42 - 3x
7x = 42
x = 42/7 = 6cm
substitute value of x in equation 1
t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.
In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.
