So 16=heads
18=tails
after you add some tails
18+x
ratio of heads to tails is 1:1.5
heads=16, didn't change
tails=18+x
so
1:1.5=16:18+x
fractionify
1/1.5=16/(18+x)
1/1.5=2/3
2/3=16/(18+x)
mutiply both sides by (3)(18+x)
2(18+x)=3(16)
36+2x=48
subtract 36 from both sides
2x=12
divide 2
x=6
6 tails added
total=heads+tails
heads=16
tails=18+6=24
total=16+24
total=40
6 tails added
40 total coins
Answer:
2 5/12 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Map pours 3 2/3 cup of orange juice into measuring cup from a large container then he poured 1 1/4 cups back into the container
The amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup is calculated as:
3 2/3 - 1 1/4
= 3 - 1 + ( 2/3 - 1/4)
LCD = Lowest Common Denominator is 12
= 2 + (4 × 2 - 3 × 1/12)
= 2 + (8 - 3/12)
= 2 + 5/12
= 2 5/12 cups
Hence, the amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup = 2 5/12 cups of juice
