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!

Darya [45]

Answer:

y = 45x miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. Mathematically,

speed = distance/time

Given that Darla travels at a constant speed of 45 miles per hour and for y miles, it takes her x hours then

45 = y/x

multiply both sides by x

45x = y

then the number of miles (y) Darla can drive in x hours

y = 45x (in miles)
