Answer:
The answer is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing I did was substitute the variables in for x and y. This is the numbers in the answer choices: (x,y). I don't know if there is an easier way to do this, but you can replace the two numbers in for the variables since it's multiple choice.
For example,
A: -2+2*4=6 Isn't right
B: 1+2*-1= -1 Nope
C: (0,0) you can already tell it's not right because anything multiplied by 0 is 0.
D: -4+2*1=-2 This is the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide so you get a decimal. 1/2 = 0.5. 2/3 = 0.666
0.666 > 0.5
So 1/2 is less than 2/3

Answer:
- 9 camels
- 6 camels
- 2 camels
Step-by-step explanation:
If I add 1 camel to the herd, the first person can get (1/2)×18 = 9 camels.
The second person gets (1/3)×18 = 6 camels.
The third person gets (1/9)×18 = 2 camels.
The total number of camels distributed is 9+6+2 = 17 camels.
The one remaining is returned to me.
- 1st person: 9 camels
- 2nd person: 6 camels
- 3rd person: 2 camels

<em>Comment on the question</em>
This is a trick question, a joke, a riddle. 17 camels cannot be divided in the given proportions without dividing a camel. The total of camels distributed should be 1/2 +1/3 +1/9 = 17/18 of the herd. Each person actually gets 18/17 of their allotment.
