Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to convert the given scenario in mathematical or algebraic expression.

Let x be the number

Then according to given statement, the equation will be:

"Three times a certain number"

3x

"is added to 5"

3x+5

"the result is 20"

3x+5 = 20

Using Subtraction property of Equality

3x+5-5 = 20-5\\3x = 15

Using division property of equality

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{15}{3}\\x = 5

Hence,

The number is 5

Two persons work together at the local aquarium. It takes the first person 120 minutes to clean the jellyfish tanks. Since the s
matrenka [14]

Answer:

168 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes 120 minutes for the first person to clean the jellyfish tank.

This means that in 1 minute the first person cleans \[\frac{1}{120}\] of the tank.

Let the time taken by the second person working alone to clean the tank be x minutes.

Then in 1 minute the second person cleans \[\frac{1}{x}\] of the tank.

Working together, the two persons clean,

\[\frac{1}{120} + \frac{1}{x}\] of the tank

But it is given that the two persons working together can clean the tank in 70 minutes. This means that in 1 minute both of them can clean \[\frac{1}{70}\] of the tank.

Expressing in equation form:

\[\frac{1}{120} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{70}\]

\[=> \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{70} - \frac{1}{120} \]

\[=> \frac{1}{x} = \frac{12-7}{840} \]

\[=> \frac{1}{x} = \frac{5}{840} \]

\[=> \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{168} \]

\[=> x = 168 \]

This means that the second person can clean the tank in 168 minutes.

Pita has 12 coins in her bag.
Allushta [10]

Answer:27/220

Step-by-step explanation:

She must have 2 �1 coins and 1 50p coin.

She can choose the 2 �1 coins 3C2 = 3 ways.

For each of those 3 ways she can choose the

50p coin 9C1 or 9 ways.

That's 3�9=27 ways to get �2.50.

She can choose any 3 coins in 12C3 = 220 ways.

The desired probability is 27 ways out of

220 ways,or 27/220, or 13.5% of the time.
