You can make a proportion of 8/20 to 42/x and then simply cross multiply from there to solve for y
Answer: <u><em>Miles ran by Matt = 6 miles</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation: Miles ran by Stan = 4 7/10
i.e. 1 3/10 miles less than Matt.
∴ Miles ran by Matt = 4 7/10 + 1 3/10 = 60/10 = 6miles
∴<u><em> Miles ran by Matt = 6 miles</em></u>

Answer: Alvin = 42 yrs , Elga = 21 yrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Elga's age be x , and Alvin's age be y ,since Alvin is two times Elga's age , then
Alvin's age = 2x , that is
y = 2x ............... equation 1
The sum of their ages is 63 implies
x + y = 63 .............. equation 2
Solving the resulting linear equations by substitution method.
Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 , we have
x + 2x = 63
3x = 63
x = 63/3
x = 21
Therefore : Elga is 21 years old , then Alvin will be 21 x 2, which will be 42
