Combining three equal groups means that we will mainly depend on multiplying the quantity by 3 to get the total
<u><em>Examples are shown below:</em></u>
1- Mrs Nadia teaches three classes. Each class has 25 student. How many students does Mrs Nadia teach in total?
<u>In this problem</u> we will be combining three equal groups of students where each group has 25 students, therefore:
Total number of students = 3 * 25 = 75 students
2- John has three bags of candies. Each bag contains 10 pieces of candies. How many candies does John has?
<u>In this problem</u> we will be combining three equal groups of candies where each group has 10 pieces, therefore:
Total number of candies = 3 * 10 = 30 candies
Hope this helps :)
It gave you the input because it is telling you what x is
Answer:
He should expect to be stopped a total of 16 times
Step-by-step explanation:
What the question is saying is that out of every 5 intersections, he would be stopped at 2.
Now, for forty times in which he passes through an intersection , we want to know the number of times in which he would be stopped
In this case we only need to multiply the probability by the number of times in which he passes an intersection and that would be 2/5 * 40 = 16 times
Assuming second equation is 6x+8y=44
so first divide 2nd eqation by 2 to make it eqaier
3x+4y=22
sub 6x+4 for y
3x+4(6x+4)=22
3x+24x+16=22
minus 16 both sides
27x=6
divide both sides by 27
x=2/9
sub back
y=6x+4
y=6(2/9)+4
y=12/9+4 (4=36/4)
y=48/9
