Answer:

Alice's age = 5 years

Malice's age = 5 years

Bob's age = 5+8 =13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age (in years of Alice and Malice (They have the same age because they are twins).

Age of Bob: x+8  (because he is 8 years older than the twins).

Then the sum of their three ages is 23:

x (Alice's age) + x (Malice's age) +(x+8 ) (Bob's age)= 23

2x + ( x+8) = 23

3x+8 = 23

3x = 15

(3x)/3 = 15/3

x = 5

So ...

Alice's age = 5 years

Malice's age = 5 years

Bob's age = 5+8 =13 years

Tawnee is designing a playground in the shape of a rectangle. If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a sc
svetlana [45]

Answer:

We conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)

i.e.

P = 2(l+w)

Here

  • 'l' is the length
  • 'w' is the width

Given that the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2

A scale factor of 2 means we need to multiply both length and width by 2.

i.e

P = 2× 2(l+w)

P' = 2 (2(l+w))

    = 2P      ∵ P = 2(l+w)

Therefore, we conclude that If Tawnee increases the length and width of the playground by a scale factor of 2, the perimeter of the new playground will be twice the perimeter of the original playground.
