Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cake shared=1/2

Pete share=x

Bill= twice as much as Pete

=2x

Pete's share+ Bill's share=total share

x+2x=1/2

3x=1/2

x=1/2÷3

x=1/2×1/3

=1/6

Pete's share=x=1/6

Bill's share=2x

=2(1/6)

=2/6

=1/3

Frank has devised a formula for his catering business that calculates the number of meatballs he needs to prepare.
timofeeve [1]
Just plug in the numbers into the equation.

m = 4a + 2c

a = adults
c = children
m = meatballs

The information given says there are 25 adults and 5 children. So now:

a = 25
and
c = 5
in the equation m = 4a + 2c


Now plug in the values. 
m = 4(25) + 2(5)
m = 100 + 10
m = 110

This means that 110 meatballs are required for 25 adults and 5 children.
