Answer:
N+F=42 & F+3N=70 System Solved: Natalie is 14 and Fred is 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Using variables N=natalies age and F=Freds age
N+F=42 ----> N=42-F (take this and plug it into the other equation)
F+3N=70 so F+3(42-F)=70 [simplify] F+126-3F=70 [further simplify]
-2F=-56 [divide -56 by -2] F=28 [then plug this number into the orig. equation]
So N+28=42 or N=14.
Answer:
2244 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The first first thing we must do is find the LCM of the following numbers
(51; 68) = 204.
This means that the first time they coincide is at 204.
Now, since his steps always coincide after 204
In Nick's case
Nick's 204 ÷ 51 = 4th step
and in the case of the father
204 ÷ 68 of his father = 3rd step.
Which means that in the 204 cm distance, there will be a total of 6 foot steps, except in the first 204 cm when your "initial" step is counted.
Replacing these values we have that the total distance will be:
67-1 (initial step) / (6 * 204) = 2244 cm
