There would be 12 people at the party!
In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n.
Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.
This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.
Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 + 2 = + 3 = +... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.
Hope this helps!
Answer: 80 ounces of yellow paint
Working:
As we know 2 ounces of yellow paint to 5 ounces of red paint, we can make a ratio:
2:5
Then we look at the question which says 200 ounces of red paint, so we replace the 5 ounces of red paint in the ratio with 200.
2:200
Then we figure out how much the 5 has been multiplied by to get to 200. We do this by doing
200 divide 5 = 40
Therefore we times the 2 ounces of yellow paint by 40 which gets us:
80:200
We can think of it as a fraction too to confirm our answer:
Simplify 80 / 200
We get 2 / 5.
If you need me to further explain something please just ask :)
It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.
<h3>What is speed?</h3>
Speed is the rate of change of distance.
Analysis:
If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm
speed = d/t
speed of kitten = 1/2
speed of puppy = 2/3
1/2 = x/t
2/3 = 14 - x / t
t = 2x--------1
2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2
substitute t in equation 2
2(2x) = 3(14 - x)
4x = 42 - 3x
7x = 42
x = 42/7 = 6cm
substitute value of x in equation 1
t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.
In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.

No.
The distance is |-5 -3| = 8 units. (Y-coordinates are the same, so the distance is measured entirely in the x-direction. Distance is non-negative.)
The answer to this problem is neither. To find this you would just plug in each ordered pair into the equation for the x and y values. Then you would compare if they are equal
