Let me help you visualize this one.
Let's say we have 12 chickens.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
We divide this group in half (1/2 who tried to cross the road.)
OOOOOO
And here, we need to get 3/4 of the 6 left.
3/4 can be represented as 0.75 of 1.
6 times 0.75 equals to 4.5.
OOOOC (Woah, that chicken is split in half!)
What fraction is 4.5 of the original amount?
Well, that's for you to find out! Good luck in solving this question.
It’s b 10000 because if you multiply 31 times 10000 it 310,000
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The son is 20
The man is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up this equation with what we know. Let <em>m</em> stand for the Man's current age, and let <em>s</em> stand for his son's current age.
We know the Man's current age is three times that of his son, so this equation can be written as: <em>m = 3s</em>
Ten years ago means the man's current age <em>minus</em> 10 years. So it is <em>m-10</em>. So ten years ago he was 5 times his son's age 10 years ago, <em>5(s-10)</em>
This can be written as: <em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
Solve with either substitution or elimination, the choice is yours, it doesn't really matter which method you use. I'll be using substitution.
<em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
<em>3s-10= 5s-50</em>
<em>40=2s</em>
<em>20 = s</em>
The son is <em>20</em> years old.
We know the man is currently 3 times his son's age, because <em>m=3s</em>, so just solve for m since you now know the value of <em>s.</em>
<em>m=3s</em>
<em>m=3(20)</em>
<em>m=60</em>
The man is <em>60</em> years old
3 2/8, 5/7, 5/6 5/12
Greatest to least: 5 5/9, 5 1/2, 5.05, 37/10, 3 4/10, 3 1/4, 5/6, 5/7, 5/12.
