Answer with explanation:

Total number of children = x

Total chocolates shared = y

In total, the chocolates distributed to the children equals 5 times the number of children, or 5 x.

Chocolates received by adults equal 20.

Let the number of adults be z.

Expressing this situation as an equation:

y = 5 x + 20 z

z=\frac{y-5 x}{20}

⇒Number of adults = z

       =\frac{y-5 x}{20}

Hank and Debra each own two milking cows. One day, they milked their cows and compared the amount of milk the cows produced in t
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

The result to your inquiry is 2 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Hank's cows yield = 4 3/4 and 4 1/8

Debra's cows yield = 5 1/2 and 5 2/3

Process:

1.- Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

For Hank: (16 + 3)/4 = 19/4 and (32 + 1)/8 = 33/8.

For Debra: (10 + 1)/2 = 11/2 and (15 + 2)/3 = 17/3.

2.- Add Hank's and Debra's milk quantities:

Hank: 19/4 + 33/8 = 38/8 + 33/8 = 71/8.

Debra: 11/2 + 17/3 = 33/6 + 34/6 = 67/6.

3.- Subtract Hank's total from Debra's total:

67/6 - 71/8 = (268 - 213)/24.

Thus, it simplifies to 55/24.

- Convert back to a mixed number:

2

24 55

7

Where 55/24 equals 2 7/24.

4.- Conclusion:

Debra produced 2 7/24 more milk than Hank.
