A <u>counterexample</u> is something that proves a statement, or equation, wrong. A counterexample is used in math when someone creates a theorem, writes an equation, or creates a new rule and someone proves it to be false.
<u>For Example:</u>
Let's say that I said <em>an even number plus an odd number always equals an even number</em>. A counterexample of that would be 4 + 5 = 9, because 9 is odd, therefore proving the statement wrong.
Answer: 168 child tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The ratio of child to teen to adult tickets sold at a water park on Saturday was 4:1:2.
Let the number of child tickets = 4x , teen tickets = x , adult tickets = 2x
Total tickets = x+4x+2x = 7x =294

Number of child tickets = 4(42) = 168
Hence, 168 child tickets were sold.

The one that makes most sense is the last one, but I would define it as "Two times some number divided by 4".
Weight of one large bead is 1.5 grams and weight of one small bead is 8.75 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Weight of one large bead = x
Weight of one small bead = y
According to given statement;
12x+8y=88 Eqn 1
5x+2y=25 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 2 by 4

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3

Dividing both sides by 8

Putting x=1.5 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 8

Weight of one large bead is 1.5 grams and weight of one small bead is 8.75 grams.
