Let's say patrick=a, paulo=b and joseph=c:

(1) a+b+c=68
(2) a+2=b
(3) b=2c

substituting (2) in (1) gives:

(4) 2a + c = 66 => a = 33 - c/2

(3) in (2) gives:

(5) a+2=2c

(4) in (5):

33 - c/2 + 2 = 2c => 35 = 2.5c => c=14

Joseph got 14 oranges!

balu736 [363]

Answer:

.6 is greater than .06    

.6 is greater than .006

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it this way....

.6 is like 60 cents of one dollar, whereas .06 is 6 cents of a dollar.

...and so you can now see that .006 would be <u>A LOT</u> less than 6 cents.
