Answer:
2.5 or 10/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2÷4/5
Integers can be fractions. Which are just the summation of equal parts. So integers can be written in any fractional form as you like,
2/1÷4/5
But turning your fraction into an integer is not enough to divide, you must first use the reciprocal form of your dividend. and then you multiply to obtain your answer. (The reason is that division is multiplication of the reciprocal)
2/1×5/4
And tadaa! you get your answer
10/4
You can also simplify it!
5/2
Answer:
<u><em>The Father is currently 47 and the Son is 7</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let F and S be the present ages of Father and Son, respectively.
We are told that <u>(F-2) = 9(S-2)</u> [2 years ago, father age was nine times the son age]
We also learn that <u>(F+3) = 5(S+3)</u> [3 years later it will be 5 times only]
Take the first expression and isolate one of the variables (S or F). I'll isolate F:
(F-2) = 9(S-2)
F = 9S - 16
Now use this in the second expression:
(F+3) = 5(S+3)
((9S-16)+3) = 5(S+3)
9S-13 = 5S+15
4S = 28
S = 7
Since F = 9S-16,
F = 9*(7)-16
F = 47
<u><em>Father is 47 and Son is 7</em></u>
CHECK:
Was the father 9 times the age of his son 2 years ago?
Father would have been 45 and son 5. Yes, 9*5 = 45
In 3 years will he be 5 times older than his son? Yes, Father would be 50 and son would be 10. 5*(10) = 50
