Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12
Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we can infer from the information given that:
5 eclaires boxes = 1 free eclaires box.
Therefore, to get the number of eclaires boxes that the kids will get if they bring 77 eclaires boxes, we have to divide 77 by 5 and this will be:
= 77 / 5
= 15.4
= 15
The group of kids will receive 15 free boxes
Answer:
yes it is a right triangle if you look closely at triangle ABC there is a right triangle mark the little square
its a. numerical expression.
So you know 1 gallon equals 16 cups
So you multiply 16 times 3 equals 48
