Answer:

Ashleys age is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding numbers that are consecutive, I like to divide the sum in this case, 100 by the number of people or things, in this case, the 4 siblings. The sum is 100 and there are 4 of them so we divide them first.

100÷4=25 so our answer must be around there. The question states that the ages must be even. So the even numbers in the range of lets say 20-30 are 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30. Closest four numbers to 25 are 22, 24, 26 and 28. We must have two numbers below 25 and two numbers above 25.  So we will keep 22,24,26 and 28. If you add them together, then you'll get 100! Since we are looking for Ashley's age which is the oldest, her age will be 28 as 28 is the highest number out the four numbers (22,24,26,28)

Good Luck and hope this helped! <33

Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets to donate to a homeless shelter. Darcie crochets at a rate of 1/15 blanket per d
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Since Darcie wants to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets and she crochets at a rate of 1/5 blanket per day, we can determine how many days she will need to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets following the next steps:

- Finding the number of days needed to crochet one (1) blanket:

\begin{gathered}1=\frac{1}{5}Crochet(Day)\\Crochet(Day)=5*1=5\end{gathered}

1=

5

1

Crochet(Day)

Crochet(Day)=5∗1=5

So, she can crochet 1 blanket every 5 days.

- Finding the number of days needed to crochet three (3) blankets:

If she needs 5 days to crochet 1 blanket, to crochet 3 blankets she will need 15 days because:

\begin{gathered}DaysNeeded=\frac{NumberOfBlankets}{Rate}\\\\DaysNeeded=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{5}}=3*5=15\end{gathered}

DaysNeeded=

Rate

NumberOfBlankets

DaysNeeded=

5

1

3

=3∗5=15

- Writing the inequality

If she has 60 days to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets but she can complete it in 15 days, she can skip crocheting 45 days because:

AvailableDays=60-RequiredDaysAvailableDays=60−RequiredDays

AvailableDays=60-15=45DaysAvailableDays=60−15=45Days

So, the inequality will be:

s\leq 45s≤45

The inequality means that she can skip crocheting a maximum of 45 days since she needs 15 days to crochet a minimum of 3 blankets.

Have a nice day!
