Depends on the fraction to determine your answer
1.
The edge lengths of a triangle are inversely proportional to 2,3 and 4.
The actual proportions of the lengths are then
12(1/2:1/3:1/4)=6:4:3
The longest side
= 39* (6/(6+4+3)
= 39*6/13
=18
2. 63 breads : 35 kg flour
is the same as
54 breads : x kg flour
Cross multiply and get
x=54*35/63=30
30 kg of flour are needed to make 54 breads.
Answer:
5 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
let the son's age be x then the father's age is x + 20
In 5 years
son = x + 5 and father = x + 20 + 5 = x + 25
Then
x + 25 = 3(x + 5) ← father is three times as old as son
x + 25 = 3x + 15 ( subtract x from both sides )
25 = 2x + 15 ( subtract 15 from both sides )
10 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )
5 = x and x + 20 = 5 + 20 = 25
si=on is 5 and father is 25
