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
Answer:
41 ≤ x
x ≤ 45

Answer:
He's correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
As long as there is no change in sign of the variables.
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:
25% is the same as 1/4 of something.
So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.
You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.
If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.
Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:
If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).
That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.
***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***
Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).
So
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:
2+2+2+2 = 8
It checks out!
Hope this helps!
