Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = Lucy, C = Carol and A = Arita , x = Total amount of marbles
Lucy shares 1/3 with Carol and keeps 1/4 for herself.
This means that Carol has 1/3 of the total amount of marbles, Lucy has 1/4 of the total amount of marbles.
C = 1/3x
L = 1/4x
We are also told that Carol has 7 more marbles than Lucy
C = L + 7
Since C = 1/3x and L = 1/4x you can sub these into the above equation and you get:
1/3x = 1/4x + 7
Subtract 1/4x from both sides
1/3x - 1/4x = 7
1/12x = 7
Multiply both sides by 12 to find x.
x = 7 times 12 = 84 (Total amount of marbles = 84)
Amrita gets the remaining number of marbles.
A = x - C - L
A = 84 - 1/3 (84) - 1/4 (84)
A = 35
20x + 15y = 2000
x + y = 115
55+60=115
20 (55) + 15 (60)=2000
1100+900=2000
2000=2000
Answer:
-22
Step-by-step explanation:
First do r(3) by replacing x with 3 in r:
2*3^2 + 2 = 2*9 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20
Then replace r(3) with 20 to do q(20):
-20-2 = -22
No, 1/2 is bigger than 1/3 because:-
1/2 = 3/6
1/3 = 2/6
Compare
3/6 is larger, which means 1/2 is larger since they both equal each other.
Answer: 1/2 is greater than 1/3
