Hello there!
We have the following equation:
c + p = 15 (c = carrots, p = potatoes)
Previously, we had this equation:
2 + 4 = 6.
2 is 1/3 of 6, and 4 is 2/3 of 6. The sum of these two fractions make a whole.

Let's apply this rule to 15 servings.
Since we are looking for thirds, divide 15 by 3 to solve for 1/3, or "p".
15 / 3 = 5
We have 5 potatoes.

Now, we must remember that the amount of carrots is twice the amount of potatoes.
Divide 15 by 3, then multiply that quotient by 2.
15 / 3 = 5
5 * 2 = 10

We have 10 carrots.

Your final answer is:
Winston will need 5 potatoes and 10 carrots.

I hope this helps!

Point m is the midpoint of ab¯¯¯¯¯ . am=2x+9, and ab=8x−50. what is the length of am¯¯¯¯¯¯ ?

iogann1982 [59]

Since m is the midpoint of ab, then the following relationship is fulfilled:
$am = \frac{ab}{2}$
Therefore, substituting values we have:
$2x+9 = \frac{8x-50}{2}$
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
$2x+9 = 4x-25$
$9+25 = 4x-2x$
$34 = 2x$
$x = \frac{34}{2}$
$x = 17$
Then, the value of am, is given by substituting x in the expression:
$am=2x+9$
Substituting we have:
$am=2(17)+9$
$am=34+9$
$am=43$
Answer:
the length of am is:
$am=43$
