Answer:

18 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there is 4 cups in a quart, we can turn 5 1/2 or 5.5 quarts into 22 cups:

5 1/2 or 5.5

( 5 x 4) + (0.5 x 4) = 22

Since we need to find how many cups were used, that is x. Because 22 cups is the total amount of cups and 4 is the amount remaining then the equation would look like this:

x + 4 = 22

Finally you solve to get:

x = 18 cups

Sam has twice as many books as Jim. If Sam gives 12 books to Jim, they will have the same number of books. How many books do the

Neko [114]

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose number of books Jim have = x

Sam has twice as many books as Jim. So,

Number of books Sam have = 2x

If Sam gives 12 books to Jim, they will have the same number of books.

When Sam gives 12 books, his remaining books will be $= 2x - 12$

When Jim gets 12 books from Sam, his books will be $= x + 12$

And as per given question, they both now have equal books, so

$2x - 12 = x + 12$

Adding 12 in both sides

$2x - 12 + 12 = x + 12 + 12$

$2x = x + 24$

Subtracting x from both sides

$2x - x = x + 24 - x$

$x = 24$

It means Jim has number of books = 24

So, Sam has numberof books = $24 * 2 = 48$

So, they have number of books together = $24 + 48 = 72$ : Answer

Hope it will help :)
