The one of the left isn't too tricky, in the bottom left of it you have 1/2 of 1/4 of the shape, and on the bottom right you have 1/4 of 1/4. Imagine the whole shape was cut up like that bottom right bit into 16 triangles, then you would have three of them shaded (see my diagram).
The one on the right seems like guesswork to me, so I'm sorry if I'm wrong. It look like you just have to use your eyes to work out how much of the bottom half of the shape is shaded: looks like 1/16 to me (i.e. you can draw four of those along and four down, again, see my diagram.) So plus the top half, which is 8/16, you get 9/16.
Answers: left picture: 3/16.
right picture: 9/16.
Answer:
1) {y,x}={-3,-23}
2) {x,y}={7,-9/2}
Step-by-step explanation:
Required:
- Solve systems of equations
1) y - x = 20, 2x - 15y = -1
Equations Simplified or Rearranged :
[1] y - x = 20
[2] -15y + 2x = -1
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
x + y = 20 2x - 15y = -1
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = x + 20
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] -15•(x +20) + 2x = -1
[2] - 13x = 299
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] 13x = - 299
[2] x = - 23
// By now we know this much :
y = x+20
x = -23
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = (-23)+20 = -3
Solution :
{y,x} = {-3,-23}
2) 25-x=-4y,3x-2y=30
Equations Simplified or Rearranged :
[1] -x + 4y = -25
[2] 3x - 2y = 30
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
4y - x = -25 -2y + 3x = 30
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = 4y + 25
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [2]
[2] 3•(4y+25) - 2y = 30
[2] 10y = -45
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] 10y = - 45
[2] y = - 9/2
// By now we know this much :
x = 4y+25
y = -9/2
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = 4(-9/2)+25 = 7
Solution :
{x,y} = {7,-9/2}
Yes; his answer is correct.
John can do this by multiple ways, but most likely he just remembered this one. Here are some ways.
1. He used his fingers; he put 1 finger, then another finger, and got 2 fingers up. The answer is 2.
2. He remembered it; usually Kindergarteners learn this and this is very easy to remember.
3. He used the things around him; I have 1 crayon then add another, how many do I have? 2.
