Melanie: 15 years old

Kevin: 5 years old

Assume Kevin's present age is x.

That means that 3 years ago, his age would be x - 3.

Melanie's age would be 6(x - 3).

Same thing for 5 years into the future:

Kevin's age would be x + 5.

Melanie's age would be 2(x + 5).

The two equations we have here are:

\left \{ {{x + 5 = 2(x + 5)} \atop {x - 3 = 6(x - 3)}} \right.

By subtracting both equations, we are simplified to:

8 = -4x + 28

By solving the equation, we get x = 5.

That means that Kevin's current age is 5 years old.

Melanie's age could be calculated by substituting Kevins'.

6(x - 3) --> 6(5 - 3) --> 12

Since that was 3 years ago, you need to add 3 to 12 to get her current age.

12 + 3 = 15

Melanie's current age is 15 years old.

The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water. the pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Find out the  how much chlorine is in the pool .

To prove

As given

The amount of chlorine in a swimming pool varies directly with the volume of water.

The pool has 2.5 milligrams of chlorine per liter of water.

i.e

2.5 milligrams of chorine = 1 litre of water

There are 8000 gallons of water in the swimming pool.

As 1 gallons = 3.78541 litre (Approx)

Now convert 8000 gallons of water in litres.

8000 gallons = 8000 × 3.78541 litre

                      = 30283.28 litres

Now calculate chlorine in the pool for 30283.28 litres  of waters.

As

2.5 milligrams of chlorine = 1 litre of water

2.5 × 30283.28 milligrams of chlorine = 30283.28 litre of water

75708.2 milligrams of chlorine for 30283.28 litre of water .

What's bigger 2/3 or 4/5
Eduardwww [97]
The best thing to do is either to find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.
I will find a common denominator.
A common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
You multiply the first fraction by 5
2*5= 10
This then becomes 10/15
You then multiply the second by 3.
4*3= 12
Therefore, this becomes 12/15
As the second of these fractions is larger, this means that 4/5 is larger.
The alternative method is to put them into decimals, in which case 2/3= 0.66 and 4/5= 0.8
Hope this helps :)
