Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
He needs 2.5 cm of ribbon left or in easier words 6 cm..-
the greatest common factor is 2
Step 1:
Set Variables (We will use x & y)
x = years
y = total orangutan population
Step 2:
Set up Equations
784 - 25x = y
817 - 36x = y
Step 3:
Set equations equal to each other & solve
784 - 25x = 817 - 36x
784 = 817 - 11x
-33 = -11x
3 years = x
The question also states that Lucy has a winning probability of 1/50, which means that she has 1 chance of winning if the total runners were 50. Therefore, there are 49 runners who may be faster than her.
The fact that Lucy is the 50th slowest runner, means that starting from the slowest she is in 50th position, therefore there are 49 runners that are slower than her.
The total number of runners will be the sum of those faster than Lucy, those slower than Lucy and Lucy:
49 + 49 + 1 = 99
There are 99 runners in Lucy's school.
Since he bought 2 model cars for $8.95 each, he bought both for $17.90. Now, subtract this from the total cost to get the cost of paint. $23.65-$17.90=$5.75. So, the total costs of paints are $5.75. Hope this helped!
