Harriet Tubman's birthname was Araminta Ross. At a young age of 11, she was hired out as nursemaid for a small baby. She had to stay awake all night to make sure that the baby would not cry. She got the scar on her head when she refused to help in the punishment of another young slave.

Answer:

Ivy is 6 years old and Rose is 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, two variables are necessary since we have two unknown variables: Ivy's age and Rose's age.

Ivy's age will be $x$

and Rose's age will be $y$

"Ivy is half as old as her sister":

$x=\frac{y}{2}$

this will be our fist equation.

"In six years, Ivy will be two-thirds as old as Rose"

in six years Ivy will have $x+6$ years, and Rose will have $y +6$ years, so for this sentence we have the equation:

$x+6=\frac{2}{3}(y+6)$

this will be our second equation.

Substituting the value of x from the first equation into the second, and solving for y(Rose):

$\frac{y}{2}+6=\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\\frac{y+12}{2} =\frac{2}{3} (y+6)\\y+12=\frac{4}{3} (y+6)\\3(y+12)=4(y+6)\\3y+36=4y+24\\36-24=4y-3y\\12=y$

Rose is 12 years old.

and Ivy (using the fist equation):

$x=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Ivy is 6 years old.

Which point is a distance of 5 units from the point (1,9)?

Fantom [35]

You just need to plot them on a graph and see how many spaces are in between each. So if you plot (1,9) remember it's X, Y axis. Start from zero on the graph. Since it's positive go over 1 to the right and up 9. Then do the same for the rest. Then count how many units are between each point on the graph and find the one that is 5 units apart.

6 1/4 % written in decimal form please

nordsb [41]

To find decimal form, you first have to change 1/4 into a decimal. That equals 0.25. The percentage would be 6.25%. Now to find the decimal equivalent, move the decimal two places to the left. To fill in the one missing place, add a zero before the 6. Therefore, 6 1/4% is equal to 0.0625 in decimal form.

A library has 167 trees on their property, but they are having trouble growing grass so they need to pay to have trees cut down

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of trees = 167
This year limit = 4 trees
Yearly limit following years = 6 trees per year
Target number of trees = 50

Building inequality:

167 - 4 - 8x < 50
8x > 113
x > 113/8
x > 14.125

Adding current year to 14 we get 15 years as answer
