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

The rubber playground mulch is sold in packages that cover 300 square feet each. what expression represents the number of packag
tino4ka555 [31]

The expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends is 600/x

<h3>How to determine the expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Area covered = 300 square feet

Number of ends  = 2

So, the total surface area is:

Total surface area = Area covered * Number of ends  

This gives

Total surface area = 300 * 2

Total surface area = 600 square feet

Let the area covered by each package of mulch be x.

So, the number of mulch is

Number = Area covered/area covered by each

This gives

Number = 600/x

Hence, the expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends is 600/x

What root of x does the expression (x^3/8)^2/3 yield?
Yuki888 [10]
The rule for exponents of exponents is:

a^b^c=a^(b*c), in this case:

x^(3/8)^(2/3)

x^((3/8)*(2/3))

x^(6/24)

x^(1/4)

So x^(1/4) is equal to the fourth root.
