Answer:
- 9 camels
- 6 camels
- 2 camels
Step-by-step explanation:
If I add 1 camel to the herd, the first person can get (1/2)×18 = 9 camels.
The second person gets (1/3)×18 = 6 camels.
The third person gets (1/9)×18 = 2 camels.
The total number of camels distributed is 9+6+2 = 17 camels.
The one remaining is returned to me.
- 1st person: 9 camels
- 2nd person: 6 camels
- 3rd person: 2 camels

<em>Comment on the question</em>
This is a trick question, a joke, a riddle. 17 camels cannot be divided in the given proportions without dividing a camel. The total of camels distributed should be 1/2 +1/3 +1/9 = 17/18 of the herd. Each person actually gets 18/17 of their allotment.
The equation of the line with a positive slope is y≤5x-1. This eliminates choice C (third choice). From there, we can start to put the equations into slope-intercept form.
y≥3x+4
y≥-3x+4
y≥-3x-4
We see that the the equation for the second line (on the graph, not above) is y≥-3x+4. The answer is Choice 2 because both lines match its equations.
y≤5x-1 and 3x+y≥4

Answer:
2 5/12 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Map pours 3 2/3 cup of orange juice into measuring cup from a large container then he poured 1 1/4 cups back into the container
The amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup is calculated as:
3 2/3 - 1 1/4
= 3 - 1 + ( 2/3 - 1/4)
LCD = Lowest Common Denominator is 12
= 2 + (4 × 2 - 3 × 1/12)
= 2 + (8 - 3/12)
= 2 + 5/12
= 2 5/12 cups
Hence, the amount of juice remaining in the measuring cup = 2 5/12 cups of juice
