Adults = 9
Children = 2
Let x be the number of adults.
11-x is the number of children.
22x + 15(11-x) = 228
22x + 165 - 15x = 228
22x - 15x = 228 - 165
7x = 63
7x / 7 = 63 / 7
x = 9 number of adults.
11 - x = 11 - 9 = 2 number of children.
To check:
22x + 15(11-x) = 228
22(9) + 15(11-9) = 228
198 + 30 = 228
228 = 228
(not my answer btw)
Okay I will have an example for you. 3 and 2/7. STEP 1) multiply the denominator by the whole number. 3×7=21. STEP 2) add the numerator to 21. 21+2=23. STEP 3) 23 is the new numerator so put 23 over 7. FINAL SOLUTION 23/7.
Answer:
-ab/1
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplicative inverse of x/y is y/x, because when multiplied it equals 1.
x/y time y/x = xy/xy, which equals one.
In this case, -1/ab times -ab/1 = -1ab/-1ab, which equals one.
Answer:

Your Question:
<span>Laurie buys four bags of candy with 10 pieces of candy in each bag. Her father then gives her 5 more pieces of candy. Laurie wants to give as much of her candy as she can to each of her six friends, and she wants to make sure they each get an equal number of pieces. How many pieces will be left over, if any, after Laurie gives her friends the candy?
My Answer:
If Laurie has four bags with ten pieces in each bag, and if her father gives her five more pieces, she would have forty-five pieces and if she has six friends and wants to share it equally with six friends. Each friend would get 7 pieces.
My Work:
<span>45 ÷ 6 = 7.5
