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!

How do you round the area of a circle with 3.14?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

(This is a example since you don’t have anything to round to)

Example Answer if the radius is 4 - 50.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Example Radius : 4

Area : 3.14

We have the mulitiply 3.14 times The Example Radius 2 times because The diameter of a circle is 2 times its radius.

( 3.14 x 4 x 4) 50.24

If you know the diameter, it’s a half or 1/2 as large.

Therefore, if the radius was 4, it would be 50.24.

Youre welcome :)

8 + (-10) just confused lol
grin007 [14]
8+(-10) is like 10-8 except backwards so how i do some problems is like that and then add a negative sign; so say if i were doing 8+(-10), i would do 10-8 which equals 2 and then since 10 is bigger than 8 and it’s a negative number, i would put -2 as my answer
