Answer:

Samuel slept for 1/4 of the distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided are:

Samuel fell asleep halfway home.
He didn't wake up until he still had half as far to go as he had already
gone while asleep.

Consider that the total distance covered was 1.

Then from the first point we know that Samuel fell asleep after covering a distance of 1/2.

It is provided that he woke up only after covering half of the remaining distance.

That is, he slept for 1/4 of the remaining distance.

Thus, Samuel was asleep for 1/4th of the entire trip home.

The manager of a snack bar buys bottled water in packs of 35 and candy bars in packs of 20. Then, she sells the items individual

Lerok [7]

$\Huge\bf{\underline{\red \dag { Aиѕωєя }}} \red \dag$

4 Packs of water and 7 Packs of candy bars.

So, we wanna know the smallest number that both 35 and 20 will go into.

Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM), but to find the LCM we need to find the prime factorization of each of the following number :-

$\sf {35 = 5(7)}$

$\sf \red {20 = 5(4)}$

$\sf {4 = 2(2)}$

$\sf \red {20 = 5(2)(2)$

~Now multiply all the numbers by 5 :-

$\sf \pink{5(7)(2)(2) = 35(2)(2) = 70(2) = 140}$

This means she needs 140 bottles of water and 140 candybars.

Water is sold in packs of 35, this means that she needs :

$\sf \orange{ \frac{140}{35} = 4\: packs \: of \: water}$

Candy bars are sold in packs of 20, this means she needs :

$\sf \green{ \frac{140}{20} = 7 \: packs \: of \: candy \: bars}$
