There are 3 sticks because:

4 sticks is the total and when you take away 1 stick, it is

4 - 1, which equals 3 sticks

So, the answer is 3 sticks are left.

Question: If u are in high school, why did you ask this question? You already know 4-1=3. Im guessing it was either a joke, or u were helping other people get points. If it is the second one, thx!!

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he first piece be x the second be 3x and the very last one be 7x + 2

Add all the pieces together and you ought to get the length of the rope which is 46 ft

So your equation would be

x + 3x + 7x + 2 = 46

11x = 44

x = 44 / 11

x = 4

so the 3 pieces are 4 , 12 and 30ft

An assembly line worker at rob bicycle factory adds a seat to a bicycle at a rate of 2 seats every 12 minutes write and solve a

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

6N = T

They will take 96 minutes to add 16 seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the factory, the workers add bicycle seats at a rate of 2 seats every 12 minutes.

If the number of seats they add is N and the number of minutes it takes is T, then they are proportional i.e. N ∝ T.

⇒ N = kT ........... (1)

Now, N = 2 for T = 12 minutes.

So, from equation (1), 2 = 12k

⇒ $k = \frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, the equation (1) becomes $N = \frac{1}{6}T$

⇒ 6N = T ......... (2)

Now, for N = 16, from equation (2) we get,

T = 16 × 6 = 96 minutes.

Therefore, they will take 96 minutes to add 16 seats. (Answer)
