To determine the cost of each item, we need to set up equations. From the problem statement, we have three unknowns so we need three equations. We set up equations as follows:
let x cost of small pizzas
y cost of soda
z cost of salad
two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad cost $14
2x + y + z = 14
one small pizza, a liter of soda, and three salads cost $15
x + y + 3z = 15
three small pizzas, a liter of soda, and two salads cost $22
3x + y + 2z = 22
Solving for x, y and z, we will have:
x = $ 5
y = $ 1
z = $ 3
It’s 9.9 because 3 times 3.3 is 9.9
Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's.
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now!
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36 ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36 ... we add up the C's
C=12 ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3
So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))
Answer:
1.33 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah
Where A is area and h is height
Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.
If 12cm equals 2 liters
8cm equals x
X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters
Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters
