If there were 5 small pizzas 2 friends eat 1 pizza so 6 friends eat 3 pizzas there will only be enough for 4 friends to eat so there would need to be 6 pizzas for each to be equally...
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's first set up some variables</u>:
- c: # of children
- a: # of adults
<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>
- Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds
⇒ average child is 75 pounds
⇒ average adult is 150 pounds
⇒<em> therefore</em>: 
- Elevator can fit no more than 14 people
⇒ <em>therefore</em>: 
<u>Let's graph the equations</u>:

⇒ look at the image attached
<u>The point at which the two graphs intersect:</u>
⇒ <em>is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and </em>
<em> their combine weight</em>
<em />
<u><em>With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults</em></u><em>:</em>
<em> ⇒ the </em><em>solution is 8 children and 6 adults</em>
<em></em>
<u>Answer: 8 children and 6 adults</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helped!

The equivalent of 4 meters is 4.374 yards
Answer:
x = y / 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
y = 3.2x
Where
y = cost for a taxi ride during peak hours (in dollars)
x = cost for a taxi ride during off-peak hours (in dollars)
Solve the equation for x.
y = 3.2x
Divide both sides by 3.2
y / 3.2 = 3.2x / 3.2
y / 3.2 = x
x = y / 3.2
This means,
Cost for a taxi ride during off-peak hours (in dollars) = Cost for a taxi ride during peak hours (in dollars) / 3.2
