Let
the amount of ice cream they serve in July = x + 100
the amount of ice cream they serve in June = x
They served twice as many customers in august as they did in June.
Therefore,
the amount of ice cream they serve in August = 2(x)
the amount of ice cream they serve in August = 2x
Therefore,
2x + x + x + 100 = 400
4x - 100 = 400
4x = 500
x = 500 / 4
x = 125

<span>The long piece should measure 7.5 feet or 7'6" (7 foot 6 inches).
If x is the length of the short piece then the length of the long piece must be 3x. The total length of the uncut beam is 10 foot.
This can be represented by :
x + 3x = 10
4x = 10
x = 2.5
As x = 2.5 = length of short piece, then the long piece measures 3x = 3(2.5) = 7.5 feet.
There are 12 inches in a foot so 7.5 feet = 7'6"</span>
Let x and y be the 2 numbers
x + y = 10
x*y = 24

The answer to #6 is 17017
Well, there are 13 places that each horse can place. That means the first place has 13 options, second place has 12 options, third place has 11 options, etc. Though, we only care up to fourth place. When doing probability, we're multiplying in this case. So, here's the process:
How many ways all the horses can place = 13! = 6227020800
How many ways the first four places can place = 13*12*11*10 = 17160
Divide the second by the first and multiply by 100 for the probability as a percent:
(17160/6227020800)*100% ≈ <span>0.00027557319%
