<span>The sum of Kate age and her mother's age is 52, so
K + M = 52
Kate's mother is 20 years older then Kate, so
M = 20 + K
How old is each person?
Since M = 20 + K, substitute it into the first equation, that is, replace M with 20 + K

So, K + (20 + K) = 52
K + 20 + K = 52
2K + 20 = 52
Subtract 20 from both sides:
2K = 52 - 20
2K = 32
divide both sides by 2 to get
K = 16
Now we can find M, since M = 20 + K = 20 + 16 = 36
Kate is 16 years old and her mother is 36 years old.
Hope this helps!!1</span>

What irrational number is between 4.47 and 4.48?

shepuryov [24]

Answer: √20 is between 4.47 and 4.48

Step-by-step explanation: Square roots of numbers between perfect squares are irrational numbers. 16 and 25 are squares of 4 and 5, so the irrational number we are looking for must be about halfway between 16 and 25.

$\sqrt{20} =4.472135955$ is more than 4.47 and less than 4.48
