8% of starch of 4 lbs of sampling is .32lbs
Convert lbs to grams.
Set a proportion: 1lb/453.592g=.32lbs/x (grams)
X=(453.592)(.32)=145.15grams

A girl is twice as old as her sister. Five years hence, the product of their ages (in years) will be 375. Find their present age
Orlov [11]

Answer: girls=20, sister=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the girl's sister's age (present)

Let 2x= the girl's age (present)

-------------------------------------------------------------

According to the question

(x+5)(2x+5)=375

Expand parentheses by FOIL (First Outer Inner Last)

2x²+5x+10x+25=375

Combine like term (5x and 10x)

2x²+15x+25=375

Subtract 375 on both sides

2x²+15x+25-375=375-375

2x²+15x-350=0

Find the factors (cross factor)

(x-10)(x+17.5)=0

x=10 or x=-17.5 (rej) ⇔ the age can't be negative

the girl's age is 20, and her sister's age is 10.

5/8*4=2.5 so 2.5 is the answer
