The known facts
- the sum of Natalie's age and Fred's age is 36
- the sum of Fred's age times four and Natalie's age is 72
Now, let's set up the equations where N is Natalie's age and F is Fred's age.
N + F = 36 ---- equation 1
N + 4F = 72 ---- equation 2
equation 2 minus equation 1 ---> 3F = 36 ---> F = 12, thus N = 24
Thus Fred is 12 years old, and Natalie is 24 years old.
Answer: 4 pizzas
Step-by-step explanation:
There are to be 12 people at the party.
Each person is expected to take 1/3 of a pizza.
The total number of pizza needed is therefore:
= No. of people * quantity of pizza
= 12 * 1/3
= 4 pizzas
<em>Note: Answer would be 6 if each guest wanted 1/2 of a pizza. </em>
To find how much each person will get, you have to divide the amount available by the people. There are 2 ways I believe we can do this.
First way
Let's divide.
2÷9= 2/9
Each person would get 2/9 of a gallon if they shared it.

Second way
I believe it would be easier to convert this into cups. There are 16 cups per gallon.
16×2= 32
Let's divide that by 9.
32÷9= 3 5/9 cups per person.

Each person would receive 2/9 of a gallon.
Since U is a universal set where S is its subset, then set U should consist of all the letters, numbers and punctuation mark in a keyboard. In other words, universal set U consists of the following elements:
U = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
U = (x| x comprised of all the letters in the alphabet fro a to z)
U = (!,.,,,?,!:,;,",',-)
