Answer:
[tex]\frac{20}{3} x=300[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the bag has 300 Gummy Bears and Mr.Smith eats 20 Gummy Bears every 3 minutes, then;
Lets assume x time taken to finish all Gummy Bears in the bag, then
Given in the question that
3 minutes =20 Gummy Bears
? minutes=300 gummy Bears
Perform cross-multiplication
[tex]=\frac{300*3}{20} =45minutes[/tex]
This means after 45 minutes the bag of Gummy Bears will be empty.
The equation to model the number of Gummy Bears in the bag will be;
[tex]\frac{20}{3} x=300[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]600-\frac{20}{3}\text{x}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Mr. Smith has a super-sized bag of Gummy Bears. He goes to eat from the bag of Gummy bears which has 300 Gummy Bears in it. Mr. Smith eats 20 Gummy Bears every 3 minutes.
To Do: Write an equation to model the number of Gummy Bears in his bag.
Solution: Total Number of Gummy bears in Mr. Smith's super-sized bag =[tex]300[/tex]
Number of Gummy bears eaten by Mr. Smith in every 3 minutes = [tex]20[/tex]
Number of Gummy bears eaten by Mr. Smith in every in minutes= [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex]
Now,
The number of Gummy bears in his bag after [tex]\text{x}[/tex] minutes is
=[tex]600-\frac{20}{3}\text{x}[/tex]
The equation for number of gummy bears in Mr. Smith's bag after [tex]\text{x}[/tex] minutes is
[tex]600-\frac{20}{3}\text{x}[/tex]
