Answer:

180-n_c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ratio of children to adults is 2:1.

Let n_c and n_a be the number of children and adults in the school carnival.

So, \frac {n_c}{n_a} = \frac 2 1

\Rightarrow n_c = 2 n_a \cdots(i)

Given that the total number of peoples in the carnival =180

So, n_c + n_a = 180

\Rightarrow n_a = 180-n_c \cdots(ii)

Now, from equations (i) and (ii), we have

n_c = 2(180-n_c) \\\\\Rightarrow n_c = 360 -2 n_c \\\\\Rightarrow n_c +2n_c = 360 \\\\\Rightarrow 3 n_c = 360 \\\\\Rightarrow n_c = 360/3 = 120.

Hence, the number of children in attendance is 120.

Mai is making personal pizzas. For 4 pizzas, she uses 10 ounces of cheese. How much does she use on 1 pizza. How much does she u
jasenka [17]

Answer:

32.5

Step-by-step explanation:

10 ounces is in 4 pizzas so if we want 15 pizzas we need to count up

4 can not fit into 15 so we have to stop at 12 pizzas.

Now we need to add 3 pizzas

:Note: that one pizza is 2.5 of an ounce  out of 10 ounces

so after you add the 3 pizzas you have 15 but that wasnt 4 pizzas so you have 2.5 ounces left over you add those ounces to the 30 you got from the 12 ounces which you have 30 and add it to the ounces left over

2.5 + 30 = 32.5
