Answer 1

Answer:

The no. of onions pieces is 5 and the no. of capsicum pieces is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :in total there are 25 pieces of Capsicum and onion on the pizza.

To Find: If there are 4 times as many onions pieces as capsicum pieces. how many pieces, how many pieces of each vegetable are there on the pizza?

Solution:

Let the no. of onions be x

Since we are given that there are 4 times as many onions pieces as capsicum pieces

So, Capsicum pieces = 4x

Now we are given that there are total 25 pieces of Capsicum and onion on the pizza.

So, x+4x=25x+4x=25

5x=255x=25

x=5x=5

Onion Pieces = 5

So, Capsicum pieces = 4x =4 \times 5 = 204×5=20

Hence the no. of onions pieces is 5 and the no. of capsicum pieces is 20
