Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cockles be c and that of winkles be w.
From the first relation,
w = 2c ..........(I)
From the second relation, 6 winkles are accidentally split.
This in equation form means the following:
c/w- 6 = 3/5
By cross multiplication,
5c = 3(w - 6)...........(ii)
We know w = 2c , let’s substitute this into the second equation.
5c = 3(2c - 6)
5c = 6c - 18
Collecting like times, c = 18
And w = 2c = 2(18) = 36
Hence, there were initially 18 cockles and 36 winkles
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
78 is only 2 from 80 while it is 8 from 70
The answer is c. Since she has three balls and she is going to chose one is will be 1/3
