Let x = times in the pool
Let y = times in the basketball courts
42=3x+5y
x+y=12
Therefore y = 12-x
Subsitute for y
42 = 3x + 5(12-x)
42 = 3x + 60 -5x
Subtract 60
-18 = -2x
9 = x
The person used the pool 9 times.
Perimeter = x + 5x - 2 + 7x - 4
= 13x - 6 meters answer
The answer should not depend on which machine or which pencil you use to
find it. If you work a problem two different ways and get two different answers,
then at least one of them is wrong, and there's a pretty good chance that both
of them are.
(9.99 of anything) + (1.11 of the same thing) = 11.1 of them
9.99 (x 10^-2) + 1.11 (x 10^-2) = <em>11.1 (x 10^-2)</em> .
Can we do any more with that ?
10^-2 = 1 / 10^2 = 1 / 100 .
11.1 x 10^-2 = 11.1 / 100 = <em>0.111</em>
A: 1:1 unless they want you to count both arms then it would be B: 2:2
