Let
x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag
we know that
1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x
remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x
2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x
remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x
3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x
remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x
4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10
(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts
5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts
6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts
7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts
8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts
9) Preston took 10
so
check
108+54+81+10=253
remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct
The equation represents height as a function of time.
The bullet was in the air for 75 seconds.
The equation is given as:
The time spent in the air is the time it takes the bullet to land on the ground.
When the bullet is on the ground, the height is:
So, we have:
Factor out t
Split
or 
represents when the shot is fired.
So, we solve for t in
Collect like terms
Divide both sides by 16
Hence, the bullet was in the air for 75 seconds

so if you take away 1/4 from 3/4 you will get 2/4
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 or 1/2
so the male elephant weights 1/2 a ton more than the female
