Given:
child = 2 forks
adult = 5 forks
total number of forks = 2992
total number of people = 764

c + a = 764
2c + 5a = 2992

find the value of c using the 1st equation.

c = 764 - a

substitute c in the 2nd equation by its value

2c + 5a = 2992
2(764-a) + 5a = 2992

1528 - 2a + 5a = 2992
1528 + 3a = 2992
3a = 2992 - 1528
3a = 1464
3a/3 = 1464/3
a = 488

c = 764 - a
c = 764 - 488
c = 276

child = 276 ; adult = 488

2c + 5a = 2992
2(276) + 5(488) = 2992
552 + 2440 = 2992
2992 = 2992

Brittany removed half of the total number of marbles from her bag, and gave one fourth of the remaining marbles to her friend. W
patriot [66]

The fraction of the total number of marbles is left in the bag after removing and giving part to her friend is 3/8

<h3>Fraction</h3>

let

  • Number of marbles in her bag = x
  • Number of marbles removed from her bag = 1/2x

Remaining marbles = x - 1/2x

= (2x-x) / 2

= x/2

= 1/2x

Number of marbles given to her friend = 1/4 of 1/2x

= 1/4 × 1/2x

= 1/8x

Number of marbles left in the bag = Remaining marbles - Number of marbles given to her friend

= 1/2x - 1/8x

= (4x-x) / 8

= 3x/8

= 3/8x

What are the solutions of 12 - x2 = 0?
tester [92]

Answer:

±2 sqrt(3) =x

Step-by-step explanation:

12 - x^2 = 0

Add x^2 to each side

12 - x^2 + x^2 = x^2

12 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(12) = sqrt(x^2)

±sqrt(4*3) = sqrt(x^2)

±sqrt(4) sqrt(3) = x

±2 sqrt(3) =x

Can you simplify 8/15+1/6
belka [17]

Answer:

Yes and the answer is 16/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the reciprocal of the divisor

Reciprocal of 1/6 : 6/1

Now, multiply it with the dividend

8/15 ÷ 1/6 = 8/15 × 6/1

And after that you get 48/15 but after reducing the fraction, the answer is 16/5. ( In mixed form, 3 1/5 )

I hope this helps and I am a middle school student answering this question.
