First we define variables:
x = distance traveled by player A
y = distance traveled by player B
We have the following system of equations:
x + y = 1550
x = 9y
Solving the system we have:
x = 1395
y = 155
Answer:
x = 1395 yards (player A)
y = 155 yards (player B)
Answer:
22 (just compute all of the bags of candy)
<span>Since you have removed one diamond out of thirteen and not replaced it, the answer is twelve over 51. There are four suits of thirteen cards, so when the first card was drawn, the odds were 13/52 or 1/4 simplified. However, previous events are not a predictor of the future, and so the odds are 12/51.</span>
