Answer:
Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.
As per the statement:
Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.
"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x
"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3
⇒
.....[1]
It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.
⇒
.....[2]
Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;
Combine like terms;
3x-3 =15
Add 3 to both sides we get;
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3 we get;
x = 6
Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;
y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9
y = 9
Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;
Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9
<span>To solve these GCF and LCM problems, factor the numbers you're working with into primes:
3780 = 2*2*3*3*3*5*7
180 = 2*2*3*3*5
</span><span>We know that the LCM of the two numbers, call them A and B, = 3780 and that A = 180. The greatest common factor of 180 and B = 18 so B has factors 2*3*3 in common with 180 but no other factors in common with 180. So, B has no more 2's and no 5's
</span><span>Now, LCM(180,B) = 3780. So, A or B must have each of the factors of 3780. B needs another factor of 3 and a factor of 7 since LCM(A,B) needs for either A or B to have a factor of 2*2, which A has, and a factor of 3*3*3, which B will have with another factor of 3, and a factor of 7, which B will have.
So, B = 2*3*3*3*7 = 378.</span>
