Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor between 32 and 80 is 16 not 8.

32 (forwards) / 16 (teams) = 2 forwards on each team.

80 (guards) / 16 (teams) = 5 guards on each team.

Answer:

Number of forwards = 32 ÷ 16 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding the same number of guards and same number of forwards for each time we should first calculate highest common factor (HCF) of 80 guards and 32 forwards.

Thus, finding factors of 80 and 32:

80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5

32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

Thus, HCF of 80 and 32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.

Hence, Number of guards = 80 ÷ 16 = 5

And, Number of forwards = 32 ÷ 16 = 2.

Answer:

The answer for number 9 is 11 and number 11 the answer is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

9) x + 8 -y, use x = 20 and y=17

First, plug in your numbers for each variable.

20 + 8 - 17

Then, use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction) to solve your equation which in this case goes straight across like this.

20 + 8 = 28 - 17 = 11.

11) 10 - x + y divided by 2; use x=5 and y=2

Once again, plug in your numbers.

10 - 5 + 2 divided by 2

In this problem, you do the division first which brings you to:

10 - 5 + 1

Then, you subtract and then add to get your answer of 6.

10 - 5 = 5 + 1 = 6.

Ed and Adam take long walks every evening. Ed walks at a constant speed of 2 miles per hour, and Adam walks at a constant speed

Softa [21]

Answer:

Both will be at equal distance at 8 miles in 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Ed = 2 miles/hour
Adam = 4 miles/hour

Work:

Ed => 4 miles

Adam => 0 miles

Ed => 6 miles => 1 hour

Adam => 4 miles => 1 hour

Ed => 8 miles => 2 hour

Adam => 8 miles => 2 hour

Hence, both will be at equal distance at 8 miles in 2 hours.

Hoped this helped.

Christopher is 20 years younger than Ishaan. Ishaan and Christopher first met two years ago. Fourteen years ago, Ishan was 3 tim

liq [111]

Answer:

Let Ishaan's age be x. Then, Christopher's age is x-20. These are their current ages.

14 years ago,

x-14 = 3(x-20-14) (we need to subtract 14 from both of their ages')

x - 14 = 3(x - 34)

x - 14 = 3x - 102

2x = 88

x = 44

Ishaan is 44 years old now.
