Question

Select all the ordered pairs that represent the amount of candles lilit and Sergio sold over the next 2 days if they continue to sell three candles each day

Answer 1

If Lilit and Sergio each sell 3 candles per day, then over the next 2 days, each of them will sell a total of:

- **3 candles/day * 2 days = 6 candles for each person.**

Now, if we consider the ordered pairs representing the number of candles sold by Lilit and Sergio, we denote the number of candles sold by Lilit as \( L \) and the number of candles sold by Sergio as \( S \).

The possible ordered pairs for the candles sold can be:

1. \( (6, 6) \): Lilit sold 6 candles, Sergio sold 6 candles.
2. \( (6, 0) \): Lilit sold 6 candles, Sergio sold 0 candles.
3. \( (0, 6) \): Lilit sold 0 candles, Sergio sold 6 candles.
4. \( (3, 3) \): Lilit sold 3 candles, Sergio sold 3 candles, which doesn't match the criteria since they sell 3 candles each day for 2 days.
5. \( (0, 0) \): They sold no candles at all, which is also not relevant here.

From this logic, the only relevant ordered pair that represents the situation where both sold exactly 6 candles each over the span of two days is \( (6, 6) \).

If you have any specific pairs provided for selection, please list them, and I can help identify which ones fit the criteria.
