Yesterday I ate two pieces of candy. My friend ate two more than I did. My friend ate twice the amount of candy as me. I ate two pieces less than my friend. The ration of the candy I had to the candy she had is 1:2.

F=Friend
F=2+2/2X2
4-2=C
Ratio: 2:4=1:2
I ate a slice of an apple and wanted more, so I added 10 more slices to the plate. After, 4 more, I realized I had eaten the difference of 10 and 5. I then discovered that I had eaten almost 2 times the amount I started with! I was happy! Just for fun I wanted to find the quotient of 10( amount of apples I added to the plate) and 5( How many apple slices I ate)!
ReplyDelete1 + 10 = 11
1 + 4 =5
2 x 5 = 10
10 divided by 5 = 2!
I have 1/2 the number of bagels than my friend has. I want more bagels so I increased the amount of bagels by 2. But after I ate 3 bagels I realized that that's not a lot of bagels left over.
ReplyDeleteMy friend has x amount of bagels.
I have 1/2x. I add 2. 1/2x + 2.
Then I ate 3 bagels. (1/2x + 2) - 3.
If my friend had 6 bagels, then I had 3.
3 + 2 = 5 bagels. then I ate 3 more.
5 - 3 = 2 bagels left over
Ava stole 10 plus a number of popcicles. Then she ate a number decreased by 2 popcicles. After that she threw away the product of 2 numbers. Then Ava gave a number divided by 5 to Happy.

I have 3 more popcorn bags than Jonathan. Plus the 2 smaller bags. So the sum of the popcorn bags i have in total is 5 more than Jonathan. If Jonathan has less than 15 but more than twice 6 bags of popcorn and the quotient of his number of bags and seven equals two, what is the number of bags I have?
ReplyDeleteI have 3 + 2 = 5 more than Jonathan.
J-number of poporn bags Jonathan has.
K-number of bags I have.
J+5= k
2X6>J<15 and J/7=2
J= 14 and 14+5=19 K=19
I was in the clutch and I was the leading scorer. I had twice as many points this game than last game(2p). My turnover to assist ratio was 1:19. I got the ball with one minute left. A weaker defender was guarding me. The difference between me and him was I was quicker and he was slower by 3 seconds(j-3). when i blew pass him he tripped me and he added to his foul total by 1 (f+1). I went to the line hit the shot and we won the game.
ReplyDeleteYesterday i had 6 girlfriends. Today I had twice as many. Next will this number will decrease by 3.
ReplyDelete6g = orginal number I had
6g x 2g -3g = 9g
Last week Tyler was having a less than(<) rockin party(r). Until somebody showed up with a boombox(b), this multiplied(x) the fun greatly. Non the lease Tyler's party was still bad, because the ratio of boys to girls was bad(12:7), but then 5 more girls showed up to Tyler's now half decent party then making the ratio an ok ratio. Then the only thing missing at the party was the addition (+) of food and drinks, but then I pulled through in the clutch and showed up with 3 bags of chips(f) and 2 liters of coke(l). In all the party wasn't to bad.(even with no help from Tyler)
ReplyDeleter<b(12/7+5)+3f+2l solve for r
r<b(12/12)+3f+2l
r<b(1)+3f+2l
r<1b+3f+2l

B=26 bluberries
If you have a 29 customers come into your smoothie palace today and you charge (C) amount per smoothie, you end up eith 116 dollars at the end of the day. How much does a smoothie cost?

35-27=Y
Y=8 customers fewer the next day.
I bought 10 things yesterday, that number increased by 12 today. Tommorow the number of things will decrease by 22 when I flip them for more thann I bought them for. I now have 16 times the amount of money of the homesless guy next to me. His amount of money is 16 divided by one.
ReplyDelete(10+12)-22=0
