The simplest form would be 1. (Also known as 1 0/5)
1.
20 pounds of strawberries
5 persons
20 ÷ 5 = 20 pounds ÷ 5 persons = 4 pounds per person
Answer: 4 is the pounds per person, how much each person received
2.
20 pounds of strawberries
5 pounds per person
20 ÷ 5 = 20 pounds ÷ 5 pounds/person= 4 persons
Answer: 4 is the number of people we're splitting among
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
In 12 years, the sum of their ages will be 24 more than it is now. The sum of their ages now is 61-24 = 37.
If Jennifer is 3 years older than Peter, we have ...
j + (j -3) = 37
2j = 40 . . . . . . add 3
j = 20 . . . . . . . divide by 2
Jennifer is now 20 years old.
_____
Peter is now 17 years old. In 12 years, they will be 29 and 32, so their ages will sum to 61.
For this case by similarity of triangles we can use the following relationship:
(x) / (9) = (5) / (15)
We clear the value of x:
x = ((5) / (15)) * (9)
Rewriting:
x = (1/3) * (9)
x = 3
Answer:
The value of x for this case is:
x = 3
