Yh I think the missing number will be 6 because they are equivalent to 1:2
Answer:
1. More magnets are longer than 2 1/2
2. 10 magnets measure in whole numbers and 5 magnets between 2 whole numbers
3. Because the shortest magnet is 1 inch and the longest magnet is 4 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. There are 7 magnets that are longer than 7 1/2 and only 6 magnets that are shorter than 2 1/2. (The 2 magnets that are exactly 2 1/2 are neither longer nor shorter therefore they do not apply to the question.)
Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.

You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
5(x + 30)
x + 30 represents the number of minutes per day he practices
5 is the number of days he practices
so 5(x+30) = the total number of minutes he practices in 5 days
For example, if he practices the piano for 20 minutes per day and the violin for 30 minutes per day, he practices a total of 50 minutes per day. For 5 days that would be 5 x 50 = 250 minutes in 5 days.
Plug that into the equation
5(x+30) = 5(20+30) = 5(50) = 250
