Charity is four times as old as her daughter. She is also six years younger than her husband. The sum of their ages ten years to

zubka84 [21]

Answer: Charity is 36 years old today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Present age of daughter.

Age of Charity = 4x

Age of her husband = 4x+6

After 10 years,

Age of daughter = x+10

Age of Charity = 4x+10

Age of her husband = 4x+6+10=4x+16

As per given,

$x+10+4x+10+4x+16=117$

$9x+36=117\\\\ 9x=117-36\\\\ 9x=81\\\\ x=9$

Present age of Charity = 4(9)=36 years

Hence, Charity is 36 years old today.

Sarah and her dad visit Yo Yo yogurt again this time the scale says that Sarah has 14 oz of vanilla yogurt in her cup her father

Ainat [17]

Answer:

$1\frac{5}{16}$ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

Amount of yogurt in Sarah's cup = 14 oz

Amount of yogurt in her father's cup = $\frac{14}{2}$ = 7 oz

Thus, we get,

Total amount of yogurt bought by them = 14 + 7 = 21 oz

Since, 1 oz = 0.0625 pounds.

So, 21 pounds = 1.3125 pounds = $1\frac{5}{16}$ pounds

Hence, they bought $1\frac{5}{16}$ pounds on this visit.
