Assume that the number of leaves raked by Adam is x.
Tapiwa raked 5% more leaves than Adam, this means that:
Leaves raked by Tapiwa = x + 0.05x = 1.05x liters
We are given that the total number of raked leaves is 697 liters.
This means that:
Total raked = raked by Adam + raked by Tapiwa
697 = x + 1.05x
697 = 2.05x
x = 697 / 2.05 
x = 340
Based on the above calculations:
Adam raked 340 liters of leaves
Tapiwa raked 1.05(340) = 357 liters of leaves

Answer:  3/4,  because the probability of renting a comedy is 1/4

================================================================

Explanation:

We have 36+26+30+28 = 120 students. 30 of which rented a comedy.

The probability of renting a comedy is 30/120 = (30*1)/(30*4) = 1/4

The probability of not renting a comedy is 1 - (1/4) = 4/4 - 1/4 = (4-1)/4 = 3/4.

Or you could say that 1/4 = 0.25, so 1-0.25 = 0.75 which converts to the fraction 3/4.

If you had 4 people and 1 of them rents a comedy, then the other 3 hasn't rented a comedy.

Solve for x<br> 1/4 + 1/2 + x = -3/4
Bad White [126]

Answer:

x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets first multiply the entire equation by 4 to get rid of the fractions.

1+2+4x = -3

3+4x = -3

4x = -6

x = -6/4

x = -3/2
