the sum of the present ages of A and B is 60 years.5 years hence their ages will be in the ratio 4:3.What were their ages 5 years ago? please show the working

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A= 30 years old

B= 20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of A be x years old.

Since the sum of the present ages of A and B is 60 years,

present age of B= (60-x) years old

In 5 years

A= x +5

B= 60 -x +5= 65-x

Since the ratio of A:B= 4:3,

A would represent 4 units and B would represent 3 units.

Thus [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]A=B

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex](x+5)= 65 -x

[tex] \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{15}{4} = 65 - x \\ \frac{3}{4} x + x = 65 - \frac{15}{4} \\ \frac{7}{4} x = 61.25 \\ 7x = 61.25 \times 4 \\ 7x = 245 \\ x = 245 \div 7 \\ x = 35[/tex]

Thus, present age of A

= x

= 35 years old

present age of B

= 60 -x

= 60 -35

= 25 years old

5 years ago

A= 35 -5= 30 years old

B= 25 -5= 20 years old

* under the section in 5 years, [tex]\frac{3}{4} A=B[/tex] because both would be equal to 3 units each. Since B is 3 units and A is 4 units, in order to make both value the same, we divide the 4 units of A by 4 then multiply by 3 to get 3 units. Thus, [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of A is equal to B.

Kate has a $75 gift card to a coffee shop. Each Friday, she purchases a latte for $5. She created a graph to represent the amount of money on her gift card each week. Does Kate's graph represent the situation? Why or why not? A. No, because the amount of money on her gift card should increase each week. B. Yes, because she starts with $5 on her gift card. C. No, because the graph should start at the origin D. Yes, because the amount of money on her gift card should decrease each week.

Answers

Answer:

D. Yes, because the amount of money on her gift card should decrease each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money on the gift card decreases every Friday as it states in the problem.

Yes Kate's graph represent the situation, because the amount of money on her gift card should decrease each week. so option D is correct.

What is Graph?

A graph contains data of which input maps to which output.

Analysis of this leads to the relations which were used to make it.

For example, if the graph of a function is rising upwards after a certain value of x, then the function must be having increasingly output for inputs greater than that value of x.

We can see that the graph shows that the slope is decreasing, if you got $75 and spend $5.00 each Friday, wouldn't that be  decrease and Lastly, of course, they should not start at the origin as they started at $75.00.

The amount of money on the gift card decreases every Friday as it states in the given situation.

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

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

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

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

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

The product of the given expression is;

B: 10x^(5) • y√(6xy)

Laws of Exponents

We are given the expression;

√(5x^(8) • y²) × √(10x³) × √(12y)

Now, according to laws of exponents, we know that; √(a⁴) × √(b³) = √(a⁴ × b³)

Thus, our given expression will be;

√(5x^(8) • y²) × √(10x³) × √(12y) = √[(5x^(8) • y²) × (10x³) × (12y)]

Collecting like terms, we will have;

√[(5x^(8) × 10x³) × (y² × 12y)]

This now gives;

√(50x¹¹ × 12y³)

>> √(600x¹¹y³)

Now, further break down of this gives;

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
