Hi can someone help my dd ?


At a rugby match 1/4 of the spectators bought 1 pack of snack each. 3/5 of the remaining spectators bought 2 packs of snacks each. The remaining spectators bought 4 packs of snacks each. Given that all spectators bought 3854 pack of snacks , how many spectators ate there ?

4 & 5-->LC M 20
for every group of 20 spectators,
5x1pack --> 5 packs
9x 2 packs --> 18 packs
6x4 packs --> 24 packs
total --> 47 packs
3854 ÷ 47=82 groups
total jumber of spectators --> 82x20=1640

cheers

I need help with this question:


Candle A and Candle B are of the same length. Candle A, which is broader, can burn for 5h while Candle B, the thinner candle, can burn for 4h. If both candles are lighted at the same time, how long does it take for Candle A to be twice as long left as Candle B?
:thankyou:

Please help me with these two questions :


1) Jay bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Kay. Kay bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jay. Jay ate 12 sweets and Kay ate 18 chocolates and then the ratio of Jay’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Kay’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Jay have at first ?

2)There are more pupils in School A then School B. 30% of the pupils in School A is 45 more than 40% of the pupils in School B. If 10% of the pupils in School A leaves to join School B, there will be 200 more pupils in School A than School B. How many pupils are there in School B?

Thank you !

Hi

I think it should be read as \" 2/3 of the remaining bag of marbles'.

Your question is similar to this question which has been discussed earlier.

The solution to your question.

1 unit ----- 4/3

3 units ------ 4

1 part ------ 13/3

3 parts ------ 13

Hope this helps.

Best wishes
