To start off with, the probability to draw the short straw is 1/9 and each time someone picks the long straw the denominator (the 9) decreases by one which means that the odds of someone picking it get higher.
1/18 of the students ate pizza at middle ave school.
Bread rolls = BR
Ketchup = K
Sausages = S
2BR +1K + 3S = £10 - 45p
2BR + 1K + 3S = £9.55
2BR = 1.40 x 2 = £2.80
1K = £1.80
£2.80 + £1.80 + 3S = £9.55
3S = £9.55 - £2.80 - £1.80
3S = £4.95
£4.95 / 3 = BR
S = £1.65
The answer is £1.65 for one pack of sausages
Answer: -1 and 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4x = 5 : Move the constant to the left.
x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0 : Rewrite the expression.
x^2 + x - 5x - 5 = 0 : Factor the expressions.
x(x+1) - 5(x+1) = 0 : Factor the expression.
(x+1)(x-5) = 0 : Seperate into possible cases.
x + 1 = 0, x - 5 = 0 : Solve the equations.
x = -1, x = 5 : The equation has 2 solutions.
40,000 cause 4x10 is forty and then add the zeros
