Answer:

4 brothers and 3 sisters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of brothers and y be the number of sisters in the family.

1.  Each brother has x-1 brothers and y sisters. If each brother has as many sisters as brothers, then

x-1=y.

2. Each sister has y-1 sisters and x brothers. If each sister has twice as many brothers as she has sisters, then

2(y-1)=x.

3. Solve the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-1=y\\ \\2(y-1)=x\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow 2(y-1)-1=y,\\ \\2y-2-1=y,\\ \\2y-y=2+1,\\ \\y=3.

Then

x=y+1=3+1=4.

Three friends recorded, in different units, the lengths of the hopscotch paths they made.
ivann1987 [24]

From the options given, Dustin's hopscotch path was the longest in comparison to the other two friends.

<h3>How to find out who had the longest path?</h3>
  • Make sure all distances use the same units.
  • If necessary convert the distances.
  • Compare the distances.

Based on this, let's make sure all distances are in feet.

  • Cassey: 94 feet

  • Jasmin: 1100 in or 91.66 feet
  • Each inch is equivalent to 0.0833
  • 1100 x 0.0833 = 91.66

  • Dustin: 32 yards or 96 feet
  • 1 yard = 3 feet
  • 32 x 2 = 96 feet

Based on this, the person with the longest path is Dustin.
