Answer:

The distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments from Big Bird's nest

is 21 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to an equation to solve the problem

- The information i the story problem is

# The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

# The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (5x + 4)

# The distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (15x - 30)

* Now lets solve

∵ The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

∴ The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest = The

   distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest

∴ 5x + 4 = 15x - 30

- Collect the variable terms in one side and the numerical terms

 in th other side

∴ 15x - 5x = 30 + 4 ⇒ add

∴ 10x = 34

∴ x = 34 ÷ 10 = 3.4

* Now lets find the distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments

from the Big Bird's nest

- We can use any relation to find the distance

∵ The distance = 5x + 4

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 5(3.4) + 4 = 17 + 4 = 21 miles

You can check the answer by using second equation

∵ The distance = 15x - 30

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 15(3.4) - 30 = 51 - 30 = 21 miles

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiples of 2 are 2,4,6,8,10, and so on

The multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20 , 25, and so on

It is evident that the only one that matches up between 1-10 is 10.

There are 10 options, and our chances are random. There is only 1 option for it to be a multiple of both 2 and 5. Therefore, the probability is 1/10, or 10%
