Answer:
y= -40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the number of turtles = x
Then
Number of frogs = x + 4
Number of crayfish = 2x + 3
Total number of turtles and crayfish = 54
Then we can write the equation as
x + 2x + 3 = 54
3x + 3 = 54
3x = 54 - 3
3x = 51
x = 51/3
= 17
Then
The number of frogs = x + 4
= 17 + 4
= 21
So there are 21 frogs in the pond that has been counted by Ramon.
The problem deals with a division and the rest of it, that is dividing the total amount of pencils into 9 classrooms and the rest, lets express it as fraction:
935/9 = 103 + 8/9
that is, if we multiply 103*9 we get 927 and are 8 pencils left over, therefore, 8 pencils are donated to the library and each classroom gets 103 pencils, in total 935 pencils are donated.
