Answer:
3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the size of the whole apple be T
Given that 3/4 of the apple is left, it means the size left
= 3T/4
Since Victor plans to eat 1/4 of the pie that was left, this amounts to
1/4 * 3T/4
= 3T/16
This means that Victor will eat 3/16 of the whole pie tomorrow
Answer:
-x+20=31
Step 1: Subtract 20 from both sides.
−x+20−20=31−20
−x=11
Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.
−x
−1
=
11
−1
x=−11
Answer:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g and b represent the numbers of candy canes the girl and boy have, respectively.
g -1 = b +1 . . . . . . girl gives to boy, they're equal
g +1 = 2(b -1) . . . . boy gives to girl; she has double
Adding 1 to the first equation gives an expression for g that can be substituted into the second equation.
g = b +2
(b +2) +1 = 2b -2
5 = b . . . . . . . . . . add 2-b, simplify
g = 5+2 = 7 . . . . . find g
The girl has 7 candy canes; the boy has 5.
