Question

Please HELP. ALSO WHY. 2 question. pLZZ

Answer 1

1). Number of kids on the other side = 16

2). Brian took the time to each piece of pie = 20 seconds

Explanation:

1). Let the number of kids on one side = x

Then the number of kids on other side = 2x

3 adults helped the side having number of kids = x, then the number of people on this side = x + 3

Since the total number of people on this side = 11

Then the equation will be,

x + 3 = 11

x = 11 - 3

x = 8

Then number of kids on the other side = 2x = 2×8

= 16

2). By unitary method,

∵ Brian took the time to eat 6 pieces of the pie = 2 minutes

∴ Brian will take time to eat 1 piece of pie =
`(2)/(6)` minutes

=
`(2)/(6)* 60` seconds

= 20 seconds
