Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = Lucy, C = Carol and A = Arita , x = Total amount of marbles
Lucy shares 1/3 with Carol and keeps 1/4 for herself.
This means that Carol has 1/3 of the total amount of marbles, Lucy has 1/4 of the total amount of marbles.
C = 1/3x
L = 1/4x
We are also told that Carol has 7 more marbles than Lucy
C = L + 7
Since C = 1/3x and L = 1/4x you can sub these into the above equation and you get:
1/3x = 1/4x + 7
Subtract 1/4x from both sides
1/3x - 1/4x = 7
1/12x = 7
Multiply both sides by 12 to find x.
x = 7 times 12 = 84 (Total amount of marbles = 84)
Amrita gets the remaining number of marbles.
A = x - C - L
A = 84 - 1/3 (84) - 1/4 (84)
A = 35
Answer:
96 sq. m
Step-by-step explanation:
If the width is x, the length is x + 4 and since perimeter = 2 * (length + width), we can write:
40 = 2(x + x + 4)
40 = 2(2x + 4)
20 = 2x + 4
16 = 2x
x = 8 so x + 4 = 12, therefore the area is 8 * 12 = 96 square meters.
Answer:
Pete runs farther per carry.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Branden and Pete both play running back.
Branden carries the ball 75 times for 550 yards.
Pete had 42 carries for 380 yards
Question asked:
Who runs farther per carry ?
Solution:
First of all we find each boy's distance covered per carry:-
<u>For Branden</u>
Branden carries the ball 75 times for = 550 yards.
Branden carries the ball 1 time for = 
<u>For Pete </u>
Pete carries 42 times for = 380 yards
Pete carries 1 time for = 
As Pete runs 9.05 yards for 1 carry while Branden runs 7.34 yards for 1 carry, hence Pete runs farther per carry.
