Answer: 1/6 = 4/24 1/4 = 6/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the denominators of the fraction so 6x24 is 24 so the common denominator is 24 now whatever you do to the bottom you do to the top so you do 1x4 which is 4 then that means your first fraction is 4/24 then you do the same to the next fraction so 6x1=6 which means your next fraction will be 6/24 so your 2 fractions right now are 4/24 and 6/24.
60/5 = 12
From the ratio we know that 5:4 is clownfish to angel fish, therefore
12*4 = 48
There are 48 angel fish.
4 angelfish : 3 goldfish
48/4 = 12
12*3 = 36
48:36
There are 36 goldfish. Hope this helps!
Let's try to do this with a little guess and check.
We'll use numbers easily divided by 3 for the older brother's age.
If the older brother is 30, the younger brother is 16. (30 + 16 = 46)
Now, we check that with the 10 + 1/3 the older brother's age.
30 ÷ 3 = 10
10 + 10 = 20
20 > 16
That one doesn't work.
Let's try 24 for the older brother's age.
That means the younger brother would be 22, because 24 + 22 = 46.
24 ÷ 3 = 8
8 + 10 = 18
18 < 22
That one doesn't work, either.
We'll try one more. If the older brother is 27, the younger brother would be 19. (27 + 19 = 46)
27 ÷ 3 = 9
9 + 10 = 19
19 = 19
This one fits all the requirements of the problem.
That means that the answer to the question of "how old is the younger brother?" is
The younger brother is 19 years old.
