Answer:

\dfrac{x}{4}

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a picnic,

Number of adults is 3 times as number of children.

Number of women is twice as number of men.

Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x

Let number of children be c

Let number of men be m

Let number of women be w

# Number of women is twice as number of men, w = 2m

# Number of adults is 3 times as number of children, w + m = 3c

      2m + m = 3c     (∴  w=2m )

                c = m

Total number of men, women and children at the picnic be x

∵       c + m + w = x

     m + m + 2m = x

                    4m = x

Number of men, m=\dfrac{x}{4}

Hence, The total number of men will be  \dfrac{x}{4}

A turtle can walk \dfrac{1}{12} 12 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 12, end fraction of a kilometer in an hour. The turtle is
sashaice [31]

Answer:

It will take turtle 2\frac{2}{5} \ hour to reach the pond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A turtle can walk 1/12 of a kilometer in an hour.

The turtle is 1/5 of a kilometer away from a pond.

Now, to find the time it will take the turtle to reach the pond.

<u>Speed</u> of turtle  =  \frac{1}{12}\ kilometer\ per\ hour.

<u>Distance</u> of turtle from the pond =  \frac{1}{5} \ kilometer.

Now, to get the time it will take turtle to reach the pond we put formula:

Time=\frac{Distance}{speed}

Time=\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{12}}

Time=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{12}{1}

Time=\frac{12}{5}

Time=2\frac{2}{5}\ hour.

Therefore, it will take turtle 2\frac{2}{5} \ hour to reach the pond.
