Mathematics

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!

If the scale on a map is 1/4 in. = 50 miles, how many miles do 3 3/8 inches represent?
Korvikt [17]
Hey there Fish Girl!

So, if \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1/4 \end{array}\right] equals 50 miles, then we would do this multiplied by . . . . 

So, if we would want to go to 3 whole, we would then have to go to the number 3 of course. So then, we do \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4*3=12\end{array}\right] and then from this, we would have to multiply this my 50.

The reason to why we would have to do this is because 1/4 of a mile is 50, so then, sense we are trying to get to the number 3, then, from doing this,we would determine a figure out how many miles this would conclude to be.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}12*50\end{array}\right]   =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\boxed{\boxed{600}} \ so \ far!\end{array}\right]

So, now, we have covered 3 as a whole, then we would have to see how 3/8 and also 1/4 can relate to each other.

So, in this case,\boxed{\boxed{ \frac{3}{8} \ would \ be \ almost \ \boxed{half} \\ \ because \ it \ is \ almost  \frac{4}{8} }}

So, most likely, it would stay the same as it is, 1/4 because this is almost half to.

SO ALL WE WOULD NEED TO DO NOW IS TO ADD . . . . . 

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\boxed{\boxed{600+50 \ or  \frac{1}{4}=650}} \end{array}\right]\end{array}\right]

YOUR CORRECT AND FINAL ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION WOULD BE. . . . 

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}650 \ miles\end{array}\right]

Hope this helps you fish Girl! :)

Anuta_ua [19.1K]
5(x + 1)....distribute the 5 thru the parenthesis...that means multiply the 5 by everything in the parenthesis.

5(x + 1) = 5 * x + 5 * 1 = 5x + 5

Find the domain of the following piecewise function.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

(2,8]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached piece wise function

Required

The domain

To do this, we simply consider the inequalities that bound the values of x.

The inequalities are:

2 < x < 4     4 < x < 8   and   x \ge 8

Combine the first two inequalities:

2 < x < 8    and   x \ge 8

For the inequality to be true, we must have:

2 < x \le 8

In interval notation, the inequality is:
