Answer:

  • Todd: 25
  • Andrew: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let "a" stand for the number of goldfish Andrew has. Then the number Todd has is (70-a). We are told the difference is ...

  a - (70-a) = 20

  2a = 90 . . . . . . .  .collect terms, add 70

  a = 45

  70-a = 25

Andrew has 45 goldfish; Todd has 25.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

I call this a "sum and difference" problem. You are given the total of two counts, and also their difference. If you were paying attention to the above solution, you see that <em>the larger of the counts</em> is (70+20)/2, <em>half the sum of the given numbers</em>. This is generically true of all <em>sum and difference</em> problems.

Knowing this, you can work most of these problems in your head.

The volume of a triangular prism is increased by a factor of 8.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

when all the lengths are multiplied by x (length scale factor), the volumes are multiplied by x³ (volume scale factor).

∴ when volume scale factor = 8

the length scale factor = ∛8 = 2

while When all the lengths are multiplied by x (length scale factor), the areas are multiplied by x² (surface area scale factor).

∴ when the length scale factor =  2

the surface area scale factor = 2² = 4
