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.

A table saw is on clearance for 20% off. If the sale price of the table saw is $380, what was the original price? Justify your s
Nikolay [14]

20% off means it is selling for 80% of the original price ( 100% - 20% =80%)

Divide the sale price by 80% as a decimal:

380/0.80 = 475

The original price was $475

Justify:

Multiply the original price by 20% and subtract:

475 x 0.20 = 95

475-95 = $380 which is the sale price.
