Answer:
150 pennies were lost altogether
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies
Mathematically ;
x + y = 350 •••••••(i)
So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.
Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left
So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies
This means that;
x/2 = 2y/3
Cross multiply;
3x = 4y •••••••(ii)
Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;
From i , x = 350-y
Substitute this into equation ii
3(350-y) = 4y
1050-3y = 4y
7y = 1050
y = 1050/7
y = 150
since x = 350-y
x = 350-150 = 200
Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100
Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50
Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150
It would take him 58.2 seconds to fill 14 glasses and it would take him 87.3 seconds to fill 21 glasses
-2 or -2/1 because the ratio is y over x and the line is going down 2 (-2) every time it goes to the right once (1)

Answer:
D. a is equal to 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that segment PQ is 8 units, so that its midpoint M is at 4 units to both P and Q.
Given that X is the midpoint of PM, this implies that X is at 2 units to both P and M.
Then;
PX = aPQ
⇒ = a x 8
= 8a
Therefore, a must be equal to , so that;
PX = 8a
= 8 x
= 2 units
Thus, a is equal to is the correct option.
