Answer:
seventeen out of twenty
Step-by-step explanation:
The phrase that describes this probability would be
seventeen out of twenty
This is because the bag has a total of 20 candies ( 3 strawberry chews and 17 cherry chews). If he randomly chooses one from the bag, he has a 17/20 chance of getting a cherry chew because there are 17 total cherry chews in the bag. If we were to change this fraction into a phrase it would be the phrase above in bold.
Answer:
<em>The first man has 7 oranges and the other man has 5 oranges</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
System of Equations
To solve the problem, we set the variables:
x = number of oranges of the first man
y = number of oranges of the other man
If the other man gives one orange to the first man:
x + 1 = one more orange for the first man
y - 1 = one less orange for the second man
The first condition is: if the other man gives one orange to the first man, the latter would have double oranges:
x + 1 = 2 (y - 1)
Operating:
x + 1 = 2y - 2
x = 2y - 3 [1]
The second conditions states if the first man gives one orange to the other man, they would have the same number of oranges:
x - 1 = y + 1 [2]
Substituting [1] in [2]
2y - 3 - 1 = y + 1
Subtracting y and operating:
2y - y - 4 = 1
y = 1 + 4
y = 5
From [1]:
x = 2(5) - 3
x = 7
The first man has 7 oranges and the other man has 5 oranges
