The elves and reindeer are getting ready for a meeting with Santa.

Let e and r be the number of elves and reindeers, respectively.

We know that:

r+e=14 (so far 14 of them have arrived)

4r+2e = 38(each reindeer has 4 legs and each elf has two)

If we multiply the first equation by 2 we have 2r+2e=28, and if we subtract this equation from the second we have 2r=10 which implies r=5.

So, there are 5 reindeers and 9 elves (remember that they have to sum up to 14).

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pete found 5/6 of a party sand which in the refrigerator. He took 1/2 of the 5/6 of the sand which to his neighbors.

This is calculated as:

1/2 × 5/6

= 5/12

Hence, he took 5/12 of the sand

How much of the original sand which did pete take to his neighbors.

Let the original sand be represented as 1

Hence:

5/6 = 5/12 sand

1 = x

Cross Multiply

5/6x = 1 × 5/12

x = 5/12 ÷ 5/6

x = 5/12 × 6/5

x = 1/2

Therefore, pete took 1/2 of the original sand to his neighbors.
