Question

In science class sara needed 8 test tubes for 3 different experiments. The first experiment required 2 test tubes and the other two experiments required the same number of test tubes. How many test tubes were needed for each of the the other two experiments

Answer 1

as we know Sara need 8 tube in 3 experiment

she will use 2 tube in 1 experiment

now she have 6 tube in other experiments

so the question said to find how many tube were used in both experiment equally so 3,3 test tube were needed for each of the other two experiment

Explanation:

total tube=8 (3 experiment)

used =2tube (1 experiment)

remaining=8-2=6

now ,

dividing 6 into 2 equal part

so,=6/2=3

so 3 tube were used in 2nd experiment and 3in 3rd experiment
