Guppies: u
Goldfish: o
3 times as many guppies as goldfish
3*o = u (there are more guppies than goldfish)
o + u = 20
o = 20 - u
Substitute in (20 - u) for o in the first equation and solve:
3* (20 - u) = u
60 - 3u = u
60 = 4u
u = 15
He has 15 guppies. Then substitute in the number of guppies into either equation to find the number of goldfish:
o + u = 20
o + (15) = 20
o = 5
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: TRUE!
Variables ARE letters used in place of numbers absolutely
Lol do you want to ask it again?
A cooler contains 14 1/2 cups of juice. How many pints of juice does the cooler contain? Also, please explain how you got the answer. Thanks:)
Liquid
2 cups = 1 pint
2.5 cups = 1.25 pints
( .5 cups = .25 pints because pints are one half of cups, .25 is half of .5 cup)
