Answer:
24/18=1.333
20/16=1.25
6/4=1.5 (the ratio to achieve9
1.333 is more close to 1.5 than 1.25 (11% difference compared to 17%)
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>n=toms weight
(n-30)=jims weight
and together they weigh 210

- Revathi's age is 1/3 of her mother's age. If their difference in age is 24 years, find Revathi's age.

Given,
- Mother's age = x
- Revathi's age = 1/3 x = ?
- Difference in their age = 24 years ⇨ x - 1/3 x = 24.
Now, let's solve this question using the above equation which we just formed.

Combine x and
to get
.

Multiply both sides by
, the reciprocal of
.

Express
as a single fraction.

Multiply 24 and 3 to get 72.

Divide 72 by 2 to get 36.

We now have the age of Revathi's mother (x) = <u>36 years</u>. Now, let's find Revathi's age ⇨ 

- So, Revathi is <em><u>1</u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>years </u></em><em><u>old.</u></em>
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that MP and PL are congruent, as are MQ and QN. Using scale factors, we can conclude that the scale factor from MP to ML is 1:2.
Based on SAS similarity, MPQ and MLN are similar, so their sides are proportional.
