Mathematics

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candy Ed took be denoted as "x"

Since Joe ate twice the amount of candy Ed ate, then the number of candies joe ate will be denoted as "2x"

Since all together they ate a total of 48 candies, then the sum of the candies eaten by Joe and Ed is what gives a total of 48

This means:

2x + x = 48

3x = 48

X = 16.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

264.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of trout in the lake.

We have been given that a group of naturalists catch, tag and release 121 trout into a lake. The next day they catch and release 48 trout, of which 22 had been tagged.

Using proportions, we will get:

\frac{\text{Total trouts}}{\text{Tagged trouts}}=\frac{48}{22}

\frac{x}{121}=\frac{48}{22}

\frac{x}{121}*121=\frac{48}{22}*121

x=\frac{24}{11}*121

x=24*11

x=264

Therefore, there would be approximately 264 trout in the lake.
