The amount of money Ada have initially is $9.25 and this can be determined by forming the linear equation.

Given :

  • Ada, Betty, Chris, and David have $45 in total.
  • If Ada gets $2 from Betty, Chris triples his money, and David's money is cut by half, four of them have the same amount.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the money Ada have initially:

Step 1 - Let the total money of Ada be 'a', Betty be 'b', Chris be 'c', and David be 'd'.

Step 2 - The linear equation that represents the total money they have is given by:

a + b + c + d + = 45   --  (1)

Step 3 - Now, after Ada gets $2 from Betty, Chris triples his money, and David's money is cut by half, four of them have the same amount of money.

Step 4 - Let the amount of money they all have be 'x' then:

4x = 45         ----         (from equation (1))

x = $11.25

Step 5 - The initial amount of money Ada have is:

x = a + 2

11.25 = a + 2

11.25 - 2 = a

a = $9.25

So, Ada have $9.25 initially.

Simon can see two lights, light A and light B.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

2 Times

Step-by-step explanation:

Simon can see two lights A and B

  • Light A flashes every 15 seconds.
  • Light B flashes every 18 seconds.

First, we determine the next time both lights will flash together.

This is done by finding the Least Common Multiple of 15 and 18.

15=3X5

18=2X3^2

LCM of 15 and 18=2X3^2X5=90

This means that lights A and B will first flash together after 90 seconds.

Now, 240/90=2.\overline{6} seconds

Therefore, the number of times more both light will flash together in the next 4 Minutes= 2 Times
