Hey there!

Tom's age to Mary's is 3:4; an equivalent ratio is 15:x (x symbolizes Mary's age).

To solve for this, we need to divide our proportions. By that, I mean divide Tom's older age by his younger age. If we do so, we should get a scale factor that we can multiply Mary's younger age by.

15 / 3 = 5

This means that the scale factor of the ages is 5.

x / 4 = 5 (Solving for Mary's unknown age.)

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4.

x/4 * 4 = x
5 * 4 = 20

x = 20

Mary's age is 20.

I hope this helps!

To determine the factor pairs for the number 30, simply find out the smallest set of numbers that will multiply to give 30, you would need to break down composite numbers to do this.

30 = 6 • 5 = 2 • 3 • 5.

These all are prime numbers that when multiplied together equals 30.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are doing probability with replacement they will all be 1/6 each time.

total there is 6/6. If you draw a yellow card first it's 1/6 then replace it and draw a blue it is still 1/6. so you take those two probabilities and multiply them (1/6)*(1/6)=1/36 1*1=1 and 6*6=36.

Your answer is 1/36

Aaron bought a set of plastic ice cubes with a mixture of water and air inside.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Volume of water and air is 3,000 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of base = 15 mm

Width of base = 20 mm

Height of figure = 30 mm

Find:

Volume of water and air is inside each of the plastic ice cubes.

Computation:

Height of each rectangular pyramid = Height of figure / 2

Height of each rectangular pyramid = 30 / 2

Height of each rectangular pyramid = 15 mm

Volume of each rectangular pyramid = lbh / 3

Volume of each rectangular pyramid = [15 × 20 × 15] / 3

Volume of each rectangular pyramid = [4,500] / 3

Volume of each rectangular pyramid = 1,500 mm³

Volume of water and air is inside each of the plastic ice cubes = 2 × Volume of each rectangular pyramid

Volume of water and air is inside each of the plastic ice cubes = 2 × 1,500

Volume of water and air is inside each of the plastic ice cubes = 3,000 mm³
