Answer:
3X/20 (option a) of the pastries submitted by Rashid and Mikhail were brushed with butter
Step-by-step explanation:
Rashid pastries (R)
Mikhail pastries (M)
Rashid and Mikhail submitted a total of x pastries
R+M=x (I)
Rashid made 2/3 as many pastries as Mikhail
(2/3)*R=M (II)
Using II in I
R+(2/3)*R=x
(5/3)*R = x
R=(3/5)*x (III)
Using III in I
(3/5)*x+M=x
M=x-(3/5)*x
M=(2/5)*x (IV)
Mikhail filo dough (MF)
Mikhail shortcrust dough (MS)
Rashid filo dough (RF)
Rashid shortcrust dough (RS)
Mikhail used filo dough for all of his pastries
MF=M
MS=0
Rashid used shortcrust dough for all of his pastries
RS=R
RF=0
Filo dough (FD)
FD=RF+MF=0+MF=MF=M (V)
5/8 of the filo dough pastries were brushed with olive oil
pastries brushed with olive oil (OI)
(5/8)*FD=OI
Using V
(5/8)*M=OI
Using IV
(5/8)*(2/5)*x=OI
(1/4)*x=OI (VI)
pastries brushed with butter (B)
Pastries made out of filo dough are brushed with either olive oil or butter (but not both)
FD=OI+B
B=FD-OI
Using V and VI
B= M - (1/4)*x
Using IV
B = (2/5)*x - (1/4)*x
B= (3/20)*x
3X/20 (option a) of the pastries submitted by Rashid and Mikhail were brushed with butter
Answer:
680 games
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that 681 tennis players want to play an elimination tournament.
1st round:
One of 681 players, chosen at random, sits out that round and 680 players play. There will be 340 winners plus one player which sits - 341 players for the next round and 340 games
2nd round:
There will be 170 winners plus one player which sits - 171 players for the next round and 170 games
3rd round:
There will be 85 winners plus one player which sits - 86 players for the next round and 85 games
4th round:
There will be 43 winners - 43 players for the next round and 43 games
5th round:
There will be 21 winners plus one player which sits - 22 players for the next round and 21 games
6th round:
There will be 11 winners - 11 players for the next round and 11 games
7th round:
There will be 5 winners plus one player which sits - 6 players for the next round and 5 games
8th round:
There will be 3 winners - 3 players for the next round and 3 games
9th round:
There will be 1 winner plus one player which sits - 2 players for the next round and 1 game
10th round - final:
1 champion and 1 game.
In total,
340 + 170 + 85 + 43 + 21 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 680 games
Break down the words into an equation:
(x+7)/(x+3) + (x-4)/3
