The pizza originally have 30 slices.

What is linear equation?

An equation in which the highest power of the variable is one is known as linear equation.

We will find number of pizza slices as shown below:

Let pizza originally have x slices.

Adam eats 20% of a pizza

= 0.2x

Bethany eats 1/3 of pizza

=1/3(x)

Charlie eats the remaining 14 slices

0.2x+1/3(x)+14=x

14 = x - 0.2x - 1/3(x)

14 = x - x/5 - x/3

14 = (15x - 3x - 5x)/15

14*15 = 7x

By dividing both sides by 7, we get

30 = x

x = 30

Hence, the pizza originally have 30 slices.

A single die is rolled twice. Find the probability of rolling an even number the first time and a number greater than 3 the seco
IceJOKER [234]

Events

• A: an even number is rolled in the first time

,

• B: a number greater than 3 is rolled the second time

The probability of rolling an even number is:

\begin{gathered} P(A)=\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total possible outcomes}} \\ P(A)=\frac{3}{6} \\ P(A)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

The probability of rolling a number greater than 3 is:

\begin{gathered} P(B)=\frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{ total possible outcomes}} \\ P(B)=\frac{3}{6} \\ P(B)=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Events A and B are independent, then the probability of one happening after the other is:

\begin{gathered} \text{ P(A and B) = }P(A)\cdot P(B) \\ \text{ Substituting with the values previously found:} \\ \text{ P(A and B) = }\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{ P(A and B) = }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}

Jill and Jack are exercising at a beach. They both start from the car park at one end of the beach. Jill runs at a constant spee
mina [271]

Jack is at (2/3) of the length of the beach (measuring from the point where they started).

<h3>How far along the beach will Jack be when JIll next passes him?</h3>

Let's think that the whole beach is like a line track of length L.

We know that when Jill completes reaches the end (one complete run) Jack only completed half of it.

So in the time that jill covers the distance L, Jack covers a distance of L/2. So the ratio of their speeds is 2:1 (Jill's speed is double of Jack's speed).

At this point, Jill is on the end of the track and Jack is on the middle, so the distance between them is L/2.

Because of the ratios between the speeds, we know that when they meet again, Jill will have covered 2 thirds of that distance, and jack will cover the other third of that distance.

A third of that distance is:

(L/2)/3 = L/6

So, when they meet, Jack is at L/6 of the middle of the beach, which means that Jack is:

L/2 + L/6 = 3L/6 + L/6 = 4L/6 = 2L/3

Jack is at (2/3) of the length of the beach (measuring from the point where they started).
