*Given
Money of Phoebe - 3 times as much as Andy
Money of Andy - 2 times as much as Polly
Total money of Phoebe, - <span>£270
</span> Andy and Polly
*Solution
Let
B - Phoebe's money
A - Andy's money
L - Polly's money
1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total <span>£270. Thus,
</span>
B + A + L = <span>£270 (EQUATION 1)
2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as
B = 3A
3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as
A = 2L</span> (EQUATION 2)
<span>
4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,
B = 3A
B = 3 x (2L)
B = 6L </span>(EQUATION 3)<span>
This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.
5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,
6L + 2L + L = </span><span>£270
</span> 9L = <span>£270
</span> L = <span>£30
So, Polly has </span><span>£30.
6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.
</span>
A = 2L
A = 2(£30)
A = £60
Andy has £60
B = 6L
B = 6(£30)
B = £180
Phoebe has £180
Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.
Answer:
It would be option 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because option 1 does not have a irrational number that goes on indefinitely, option three has the square root of 25, which equals 5 meaning it is rational, and the last option also gives us rational choices. Therefore, the only possibility is that it would be option 2.
Answer:
= 6/1 × 17/2
= (6 × 17) / (1 × 2)
= 102/2
= 51/1
<span>= 51</span>
Answer:
The answer is 7/3 or 2 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) You change the ÷ into x (so it will be 7/9 x 1/3)
2) You flip the 1/3 so it will be 3 ( 7/9 x 3)
3) There you have it the answer is 7/3
