Vanessa solved 244 problems in a recent Mathathon. She solved four times as many problems as her friend Bethany. (a) Write a math sentence to determine the number of problems (p) Bethany solved. (b) How many problems did Bethany solve?

(a) 61

(B) 61

Step-by-step explanation: If she solved 244 problems, and at the same time she solved four times more than bethany, Therefore 244÷ 4 = 61

b) well because you get well

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
