Problema Solution
If 2 blips = 9 cogs, and 1/2 blip = 2 cogs + 1 fave, how many cogs does 1 fave equal?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let b, c, and f represent the number of blips, cogs, and faves.
2 blips = 9 cogs,
2b = 9c divide both sides by 2
b = 4.5c
and 1/2 blip = 2 cogs + 1 fave
(1/2)b = 2c + f
plug b = 4.5c into the last equation
(1/2)*4.5c = 2c + f
by solving for f we find:
f = 0.25c
