1/3 hope i helped please check out my latest question i need help with homework
Step-by-step explanation:
its simplified
Given:
circular merry-go-round that has a diameter of 15 feet.
Find: How much trim does he need to buy to put around the edge of the merry-go-round?
We need to find the circumference of the merry-go-round to get the measurement of the trim needed.
Circumference = π d
π = 3.14
d = diameter = 15 feet
Circumference = 3.14 * 15 feet
Circumference = 47.10 feet.
Mr. Osterhout needs to buy 47.10 feet of trim to put around the circular merry-go-round.
Let x = Wally's age now
Then, 3x = Jose's age now
Wally's age 5 years from now = x+5
Jose's age 5 years from now = 3x+5
(x+5) + (3x+5) = 42
4x + 10 = 42
4x = 32 x = 8
Wally is 8 years old and Jose is 24.
