Step-by-step explanation:
If we count for both numbers up to 36, we start seeing a pattern...
Candy: 6 12 18 24 30 36
Danny: 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36
Every other number in Candy's counting is also counted by Danny. So here's what we'll do:
600/6 = 100
This is how many numbers Candy counted overall.
100/2 = 50
This is how many numbers Danny counted that were also numbers Candy counted.
Answer:
50 of the numbers that candy counted were also counted by Danny.
Answer:
x = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
5 (x + 20) = 7 x + 30
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
5 x + 100 = 7 x + 30
Subtract 7 x from both sides:
(5 x - 7 x) + 100 = (7 x - 7 x) + 30
5 x - 7 x = -2 x:
-2 x + 100 = (7 x - 7 x) + 30
7 x - 7 x = 0:
100 - 2 x = 30
Subtract 100 from both sides:
(100 - 100) - 2 x = 30 - 100
100 - 100 = 0:
-2 x = 30 - 100
30 - 100 = -70:
-2 x = -70
Divide both sides of -2 x = -70 by -2:
(-2 x)/(-2) = (-70)/(-2)
(-2)/(-2) = 1:
x = (-70)/(-2)
The gcd of -70 and -2 is -2, so (-70)/(-2) = (-2×35)/(-2×1) = (-2)/(-2)×35 = 35:
Answer: x = 35
Answer:
385 counters
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1/6 of the counters are red and 1/4 of the counters are blue, there are:
1 - (1 / 6) - (1 / 4) = 7 / 12
Multiply it to find green:
660 x (7 / 12) = 385 counters
