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
