Cake-walk line X Ft.
Dunking machine line = 2x.
Line for hoop shoot = 2x.
2x = 18 = No. of people in line for dunking machine.
Dunking machine line = 2x.
Line for hoop shoot = 2x.
2x = 18 = No. of people in line for dunking machine.
Given:
- The line for the dunking machine was twice as long as the cake walk line.
- The line for the cake walk was half the length of the line for the hoop shoot.
- There were 18 people in line for the hoop shoot.
Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Determine the length of the cake walk line:
- The line for the cake walk was half the length of the line for the hoop shoot.
- Since there were 18 people in line for the hoop shoot, the cake walk line has 18 / 2 = 9 people.
2. Determine the length of the dunking machine line:
- The line for the dunking machine was twice as long as the cake walk line.
- Therefore, the dunking machine line has 9 * 2 = 18 people.
Therefore, there were 18 people in the line for the dunking machine.
