2. A large pizza has toppings of capsicum and onions. In total there are 25 pieces of both on the pizza. If there are 4 times as many onion pieces as capsicum pieces, how many pieces of each vegetable are there on the pizza?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.

Time taken on Sunday=45 minutes

Saturday ,time needed= 4x 45=180 minutes

Therefore, Time spend on homework on both days

= 45 +180

=225 minutes

2.

Total no. of Pieces of both on pizza= 25

Let the no. of capsicum pieces be 'x'

No. of Onion pieces= 4x

A/Q

x+4x= 25

x= 5

Therefore,

No. of Capsicum pieces= 5

No. of onion pieces = 4x= 4x5 = 20
