Given that Joseph has 24 cousins, and he has 6 more females than males, the number of females will be obtained as follows;
suppose he had x males, number of females will be x+6.
The total will be:
x+(x+6)=24
x+x+6=24
2x+6=24
2x=24-6
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9
thus the number of male cousins is 9, the number of female cousins will be 9+6=15
We therefore conclude that he has 9 male cousins and 15 female cousins
I believe the answer is D.
Answer:
350gallons /minute
Step-by-step explanation:
D = minimun depth of mine
4D-250 = minimum gallon per minute required to pump
4(150)- 250= 350gallon/minute
Answer:
10 people lesser.
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially, it 15 people get off but 9 people get picked up, hence losing 6 people. If 4 more people get off, it has then lost 10 people total.
The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop
Assume that the total passengers on the bus before 2:30 was x
Now, at 2:30:
15 passengers got off and 9 got on.
This means that:
number of passengers = x - 15 + 9
number of passengers = x -6
10 minutes later:
4 passengers got off the bus
This means that:
number of passengers = (x-6) - 4
number of passengers = x - 10
The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop.
