Step One
========
Start with how much was transferred.
r = 4.4 megabytes / second
t = 32 seconds
amount transferred = ????
Formula: amount = r*t
amount = 4.4 * 32 = 140.8 megabytes were transferred.

Step Two
=======
Find the number of megabytes on the drive before the transfer took place.
The amount transferred = 140 megabytes.
The drive recorded when he was done there was 384 megabytes
The amount on the drive was 384 - 140 = 243.2 megabytes to begin with.

Step 3
=====
Find the number of megabytes left before the transfer.
1000 - 243.2 = 756.8 megabytes were left before he began his 32 second transfer.

Step 4
=====
Find the amount of time it would take to fill the drive.
He needs to transfer 756.8
The rate of transfer = 4.4 megabytes / second
t = ????
Formula: Amount transferred = r * t; t= amount / r
t = 756.8 / 4.4 
t = 172 seconds.

Interesting question. Thanks for posting. It is a unique application of the more familiar formula

d = v * t

Wesleys mother is 57 years old. her age is three years more than twice edwins age. what is wesleys age?
natita [175]

Answer: Edwin is likely a typo for Wesley.

Step by step:

Wmom=57

Wmom=3+2e

57=3+2e

54=2e

27=e

Edwin is 27 years old.

Aside from a typo, one can speculate on Wesley's age. He's likely between 20 and 39 years old based on his mother's age. If you want to delve into societal norms, Wesley is likely to be a name from a white middle to upper class parentage, so it's less likely he was had when his mother was a teen, or even in her early twenties because college, so move that age zone to 20 to 34. Then consider that having children later than 35 is consideration for a "risky" pregnancy and most women are urged to aim for before 33, but most upper middle class white women will be pressured to baby before 30. So, adjust Wesley's age zone to 27 to 34. And then...idk. But in all honesty I think Edwin is meant to be Wesley, because it's a math problem not a sociology one.

Answer:

The father is 59

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say each of the kids are twelve

30*5=150-36=114=59+55

30*5+ 150 the age of everyone in the family added together

12*3= 36 the age of all the kids

150-36=114 the age of the adults added together

we know the mother is 4 years younger than the father so to state off you can take 114 and divide it by two to get what half of it is then take take numbers that are four apart to find the ages that add up to 114.
