Answer:
12 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the mother's age by m and the son's by 4. Currently m = 36 years old.
In x years the mother will be three times as old as her son:
mother: 36 + x years old
son: 4 + x years old
The pertinent equation to solve is:
36 + x = 3(4 + x)
Performing the multiplication, we get:
36 + x = 12 + 3x, or
24 = 2x. Then x = 12.
Check: In 12 years, will the mother's age be 3 times the son's age?
Does 36 + 12 = 3(4 + 12)?
Does 48 = 48? YES
The mother will be 3 times as old as her son in 12 years from now.
Answer:
The easiest approach is to realise that one hour is 3 times longer than 20 minutes. The longer the time, the more they will pave.
215 of a mile, in 20 minutes, how much in 60 minutes?#
They will pave 3 times more.
215×31=615 of a mile
615=25 of a mile
You could also use the 'unitary method' where you find out how much they pave in ONE minute (divide by 20) and them multiply by 60 to find how much in one hour.
Look at what happens:
215÷20×60
=215×120×603
=215×3 ← exactly the same maths.
=25
Use the pythagorean theorem to solve this: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
You already have a and b which are 3 and 4. Square them up and you will get 9 + 16 = c^2.
Add.
25 = c^2
Lastly, square root both sides.
5 = c
The length of AB is 5.
Answer: 0.82
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that :
For any event A , the probability of not getting A is given by :-
P(not A)= 1- P(A)
Given : The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is P( psychology major) =0.18.
Then, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major will be :
P(not psychology major)= 1 - P(psychology major)
= 1-0.18=0.82
Hence, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major= 0.82
Answer:
It looks correct!!!!!!!!!
