Question

Greenboro gets 12times as many inches of snow as redville gets . Altogether ,the two towns get 65 inches of snow how many inches of snow dose redville get?

Answer 1

Redville = r
Greenboro = 12r
Total of the two towns = 65
Now we can set up our equation.

r + 12r = 65
13r = 65
13r/13 = 65/13
r = 5

Redville gets 5 inches

Answer 2

12x+x=65
13x=65
X=65/13
X= 5
