Question

8.) Jim eats (r) apples and Maria eats 3 times as

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if Jim eats r apples and Maria eats 3times as Jim then we can represent the number of times Maria eats as 3r

Together, the both eat 96 apples that is:

r + 3r = 96 apples - this is the equation for this situation.

Solving further

r + 3r = 96apples

4r = 96 apples (divide through the equation by 4)

4/4 r = 96/4 apples

Then

r = 24 apples

Which means that Jim eats 24 apples while Maria eats 3 * 24 apples = 72 apples.
