Answer:

i. The distance between the balloon and canoe is 16.8 meters.

ii. The situation can be represented by: -12 + d = 4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the surface of the lake be zero. Then any position above it is taken to be positive, while any position below is taken as negative.

So that,

the balloon's vertical position = 12 meters

the sunken canoe's position = -4.8 meters

Given that the distance between the balloon and the canoes is d, then:

d = balloon's position - canoe's position

  = 12 - (-4.8)

  = 12 + 4.8

d  = 16.8

The distance between the balloon and canoe is 16.8 meters.

Thus,

d = 12 -(-4.8)

d = 12 + 4.8

-12 + d = 4.8

The situation can be represented by: -12 + d = 4.8

Joe ate twice as many pieces of Halloween candy as Ed. Together they ate 48 pieces.
gulaghasi [49]

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.
