Bernard is one and half times old as Henry six years ago he was twice as old as Henry how old are the boys now

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Henry=12, Bernard=18

Step-by-step explanation:

let Henry's age = x

let Bernard's age= 1.5x

according to d passage 6yrs ago x×2=1.5x

mathematically that is (x-6)2=1.5x-6

2x-12=1.5x-6

2x-1.5x=-6+12

0.5x=6

divide both sides by the co-efficient of x which is 0.5 can also be written as ½

there fore x=6÷½

x=Henry's age=12years

1.5x=Bernard's age=12×1.5=18years

George deposit is $750 into an account that earns 7% interest which is compounded two times per year how much money was George have in his account in five years

Answers

Answer:

$1475.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the interest is two times per year for 5 years, do this 10 times:

1) 750*0.07=52.5

750+52.5=802.5

2) 802.5*0.07=56.18

802.5+56.18=858.69

3) 858.69*0.07=60.11

858.69+60.11=918.79

4) 918.79*0.07=64.32

918.79+64.32=983.11

5) 983.11*0.07=68.82

983.11+68.82=1051.93

6) 1051.93*0.07=73.64

1051.93+73.64=1125.57

7) 1125.57*0.07=78.79

1125.57+78.79=1204.36

8) 1204.36*0.07=84.31

1204.36+84.31=1288.67

9) 1288.67*0.07=90.21

1288.67+90.21=1378.88

10) 1378.88*0.07=96.52

1378.88+96.52=1475.40

3. Un cubo de madera se pinta y luego se divide en 27 cubitos iguales, de estos nuevos cubos ¿Cuántos tienen pintadas 3 caras? a. 1 cubito b. 12 cubitos c. 8 cubitos d. 10 cubitos

Answers

Answer:

c. 8 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case if the original cube was divided into 27 equal smaller cubes, the way to do this is each top side divide it into 9 parts and then make 3 cuts down, so they would have 27 equal cubes.

The case that 3 faces are painted would be 8, because with this condition it would only be the corner cubes, the cube would have 4 lower corners and 4 upper corners, therefore 8 cubes would have 3 painted faces

Find the slope of the line that passes through (3, 7) and (6, 8).

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answers

Answer:

Slope = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define general form of equation of line

An equation of a straight line on two-dimensional plane could be represented in form of: y = Mx + b, with M is slope and b is y-intercept

Step 2: Set up the system to solve for slope M of equation of line

That equation passes 2 points, which are represented in form of (x, y), (3, 7) and (6, 8).

Substitute these values of x and y into the original equation in step 1:

7 = 3M + b

8 = 6M + b

Step 3: Solve the system of equations in step 2 for M

Subtract 1st equation from 2nd equation:

8 - 7 = 6M - 3M + b - b

Simplify both sides:

1 = 3M

Divide both sides by 3:

=> M = 1/3

Hope this helps!

1. Evan drove 308 km in the same time that Meghan drove 329 km. If Meghan drove
on average 6 km/h faster than Evan, calculate her average speed and the time taken
for the journey.

Answers

Answer:

Her average speed is 94 km/h

Time taken is 3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Evan’s average speed be x km/h.

now since Meghan drove faster, according to the question, we can say her average speed would be x + 6 km/h

Mathematically, time = distance/speed

so; since time is the same; we have

308/x = 329/(x + 6)

cross multiply

329(x) = 308(x + 6)

329x = 308x + 1848

329x-308x = 1848

21x = 1848

x = 1848/21

x = 88 km/h

Meghan average speed = x + 6 = 88 + 6 = 94 km/h

Time taken would be 329/94 = 3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Two fractions are said to be equal if and only if they give the same value when simplified.

The equivalent of [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex] is as explained in the selected option;

First, divide numerator and denominator by 2

[tex]\frac{2/2}{6/2}[/tex]

The LCM of three numbers is 7920 and their GCD is 12. Two of the numbers are 48 and 264. Using factor notation find the third number if one of its factors is 9.

Answers

Answer:

The third number is 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third number be 9x where x is an integer.

48 = 2*2*2*2*3

264 = 2*2*2*3*11

9x = 3*3*x

2*2*2*2*3*3*11*x = 7920y where y is an integer

1584x = 7920y

so x = 7920y / 1584= 5y.

Now the GCD is 12  so x must have  4 as one of its factors.

Also x is a multiple of 5 so it could be 20 then y  would be 4.

If x = 20 then the third number is 9*20 = 180.

This checks out OK.

John goes to a restaurant and has a bill of $ 32. 57. He uses a 10% off coupon on the cost of his meal. The tax is 8%. He leaves a tip of 18% on the amount before the coupon or tax is applied. How much does he spend?

Answers

Answer: $36.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the meal was $32.57 and he used a 10% off coupon. You can make 10% equal to 0.1 because [tex]\frac{10}{100}=0.1[/tex]. Now do [tex]0.1 *32.57=$3.26[/tex]. This is the discount, so you want to subtract this from the original to get the actual price of the meal, [tex]32.57-3.26=29.31dollars[/tex].

The tax was 8% so this means he is adding it to his total cost instead of subtracting it. Do 0.08 of $29.31 to get $2.34. Add $2.34 to the now $29.31 to get $31.69.

The tip is also adding to the total cost, so do 0.18 of $29.31 to get $5.28. Add $5.28 to $31.69 to get $36.97

Answer:

$37.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Original cost of meal is $32.57.

Since he has a coupon for 10% off, he pays for 90% of the cost of the meal.

90% of $32.57 = 0.9 * $32.57 = $29.31

Now he pays tax on the new discounted total. Let the new total be called 100%. Since he pays 8% tax, he needs to pay 108% of the new total.

108% of $29.31 = 1.08 * $29.31 = $31.65

He adds a tip of 18% of $32.57.

The tip amount is

18% of $32.57 = 0.18 * $32.57 = $5.86

The total is: $31.65 + $5.86 = $37.51
