litter cleanup volunteers form 4 groups containing v volunteers each then 10 more volunteers show up the volunteers regroup into 5 groups each containing 6 people how many volunteers were in each original group

Sagot :

the answer will  be 5... :)

Answer: There were 5 volunteers in each original group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to write equations with the information given:

"Litter cleanup volunteers form 4 groups containing v volunteers each "

x/4 =v  (first equation)

Where:

  • x = initial number of volunteers
  • v = number of volunteers in each original group

"Then 10 more volunteers show up the volunteers regroup into 5 groups each containing 6 people." So we have to add 10 to the original number of volunteers (x) and divide it by 5 , to obtain 5 groups . That expression equals 6.

Mathematically speaking :

(x+10 )/5 = 6  (second equation)

Solving for x

x/5 +2 =6

x/5= 6-2

x/5= 4

x =4(5)

x = 20

Replacing x in the first equation

20/4 =v =5

There were 5 volunteers in each original group.
