Hello there!
We have the following equation:
c + p = 15 (c = carrots, p = potatoes)
Previously, we had this equation:
2 + 4 = 6.
2 is 1/3 of 6, and 4 is 2/3 of 6. The sum of these two fractions make a whole.
Let's apply this rule to 15 servings.
Since we are looking for thirds, divide 15 by 3 to solve for 1/3, or "p".
15 / 3 = 5
We have 5 potatoes.
Now, we must remember that the amount of carrots is twice the amount of potatoes.
Divide 15 by 3, then multiply that quotient by 2.
15 / 3 = 5
5 * 2 = 10
We have 10 carrots.
Your final answer is:
Winston will need 5 potatoes and 10 carrots.
I hope this helps!
U sub 15 minus 8 and then u add
If you pay attention 2 goes into 8, 10, & 12 and it looks like they all have one C. So what do you think it is lol?(:

Answer: 11
Step-by-step explanation:
If 15 workers can paint 18 houses in 24 days, how many days will 40 workers take to paint 22 houses?
--------------
# of days are inversely related to # of workers and directly related
to # of houses.
--------------
d = kh/w
---
Solve for "k" using "15 workers can paint 18 houses in 24 days"
24 = k*18/15
k = 15*24/18 = 15*(4/3) = 20
--------------
Equation:
d = 20h/w
---
Solve: How many days will 40 workers take to paint 22 houses?
d = 20*22/40
d = 11 days
