There's only one solution, x = 12</span>
Answer:
A = 0.8 litres
B = 0.7 litres
C = 0.5 litres
D = 0.2 litres
Step-by-step explanation
Here's what we know:
1. Jug A = B + .1 litres
2. Jug C = B - 200 (or 0.2 litres)
3. Jug D = .25 x A
4. Jug A + Jug B = 1.5 litres
In problem 1, we learned that Jug A has .1 litres more than Jug B and in problem 4, the two of them added together are 1.5 litres. To solve this we can combine the problems.
B + .1 litres + B = 1.5 litres
2B + .1 = 1.5
Subtract .01 from each side and you have 2B = 1.4
Divide each side by 2 and you have B = 0.7 litres
Plug this info into problem 1 and you can solve for A. (0.7 + 0.1 = 0.8)
Plug this info into problem 2 and you can solve for C. (0.7 - 0.2 = 0.5)
Since you have A, you can use that info to solve problem 3 (0.25 x 0.8 = 0.2)
Answer:
4 friends evenly divided up a n -slice pizza.
So, the number of slices each friend received = n/4
Now, Harrison ate 1 fewer slice than he received. As he received n/4 slices, so 1 fewer than n/4 means......
Harrison ate n/4-1 slices of pizza.
