Answer:
idk good luck with that one :)
Step-by-step explanation:
They could miss each other 30 different ways. I solved this by drawing it out six different stores and making Alice and Betsy go to each one may different times. Example photo included for how I got the first five. Then I did the same thing, but switch A and B, counted that towards the total and continued the is drawing until all the possibilities were found.
Answer:
There were 3 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Derive the first expression
a+c=10...equation 1
where;
a=number of adults
c=number of children
And total number of people=10
Step 2: Derive the second expression;
Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)
where;
Total cost of tickets=$186.50
price per child ticket=$15.95
price per adult ticket=$24.95
number of children=c
number of adults=a
replacing;
(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2
Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously
24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5
-
24.95(a+c=10)
(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)
-9 c=-63
c=-63/-9
c=7
replace the value for c in equation 1
a+c=10
a+7=10
a=10-7
a=3

Question:
You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?
Answer: 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x
First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)
Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)
If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish
Then,
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish
Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish
1/ 10 of 40
= ( 1/10) × 40
= 4 miles
