The problem statement gives a relation between the amount removed from one bag and the amount removed from the other. It asks for the amount remaining in each bag. Thus, there are several choices for variables in this problem, some choices resulting in more complicated equations than others.
Let's do it this way: let x represent the amount remaining in bag 1. Then the amount removed from bag 1 is (100-x). The amount remaining in bag 2 is 2x, so the amount removed from that bag is (100-2x). The problem statement tells us the relationship between amounts removed:
... (100 -x) = 3(100 -2x)
... 100 -x -3(100 -2x) = 0 . . . . . . subtract the right side
... 5x -200 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses and collect terms
... x -40 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 5
... x = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 40
- 40 kg is left in the first bag
- 80 kg is left in the second bag

<u>Check</u>
The amount removed from the first bag is 60 kg. The amount removed from the second is 20 kg. The amount removed from the first bag is 3 times the amount removed from the second bag, as described.
Answer:
No
If the fraction is an improper fraction, the product would be higher
if the numerator of the fraction is smaller than the denominator, the product would be lower
2 x 3/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2
2 x 4/3 = 8/3 = 2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
an improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator
The numerator is the number above. While the denominator is the number below
an example of a fraction = 
4 is the numerator while 5 is the denominator
Answer:
(a) 1/4
(b) answer in explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are told that we have a spinner and the spinner has 12 equal sized sections with three of the sections purple in color. We are now asked to calculate the probability of the spinner landing on the color purple.
Checking, we can see that this is a probability question. The spinner has the options of stopping at 12 different positions but amongst these 12 positions, 3 of the positions are painted purple. We now need to know the probability of the spinner landing on purple.
To get the probability of this, what we simply do is to divide the number of purple options by the total number of outcomes we have. The number of purple options is 3 while the total outcome we have is 12. The probability is thus P(of purple is) = 3/12 = 1/4
(b) we are asked to use words to describe the probability
From the probability in the question, what we can see is that if the spinner is spinner 4 different times, there is a chance that 1 out of all the chances will produce a result where we have the spinner landing on one of the purple color section.
What this actually means is that there is a 25% chance within every spin for the spin to land in the purple color section of the spinner
