Answer:

4 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of candy she has is 15 + 9 = 24 pieces. She has three younger brothers, and 24 is divisible by 3 (24/3 = 8). 15 and 9 are also both divisible by 3 (15/3 = 5 and 9/3 = 3).

-She can give them each 5 tootsie rolls.

-She can give them each 3 twizzlers.

- She can give them each 5 tootsie rolls and 3 twizzlers (if she were to give them all of the candy)

- She can give them one of each which would leave her 12 tootsie rolls and 6 twizzlers (which is the best option if she's trying to save for herself)

I see 4 ways to do this, and 2 ways after her mother asks her to give at least 1 type of candy to each of them.

The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race. First they reduce their time by 2.1 minutes. Then they are able
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by t_1=2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by t_2=10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

x-t_1-t_2=3.6\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+t_1+t_2\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+2.1+10\\\Rightarrow\ x= 15.7

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

in a certain class, 22 pupils take one or more of chemistry, economic, government. 12 take economic (E), 8 take government (G) a
mash [69]

Answer:

ai) n(E⋂C) = ∅ = null

n(E⋂G) = 4

aii) see attachment

bi) n(C⋂G) = x = 1

bii) n(G) only = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chemistry = C

Economic = E

Government = G

n(E) = 12

n(G) = 8

n(C) = 7

ai) number of pupils for economics and chemistry = 0

number of pupils for economics and government = 4

The set notation for both:

n(E⋂C) = ∅ = null

n(E⋂G) = 4

aii) find attached the Venn diagram

bi) n(C⋂G) = ?

Let number of n(C⋂G) = x

From the Venn diagram

n(C) only = 12-4 = 8

n(G) only = 8-(4+x) = 4-x

n(E) only = 7-x

n(E⋂C⋂G) = 0

n(E⋂C) = 0

n(E⋂G) = 4

Total: 8+ 4-x + 7-x + x + 0+0+4 = 22

23 -x = 22

23-22 = x

x = 1

n(C⋂G) = x = 1

Number of pupils that take both chemistry and government = 1

(bii) government only = n(G) only = 4-x

n(G) only = 4-1 = 3

Number of students that take government only = 3
