Answer:
1). Number of kids on the other side = 16
2). Brian took the time to each piece of pie = 20 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
1). Let the number of kids on one side = x
Then the number of kids on other side = 2x
3 adults helped the side having number of kids = x, then the number of people on this side = x + 3
Since the total number of people on this side = 11
Then the equation will be,
x + 3 = 11
x = 11 - 3
x = 8
Then number of kids on the other side = 2x = 2×8
= 16
2). By unitary method,
∵ Brian took the time to eat 6 pieces of the pie = 2 minutes
∴ Brian will take time to eat 1 piece of pie = minutes
= seconds
= 20 seconds
