Kevin is currently twice as old as his brother. If Kevin was eight years old two years ago, how old is Kevin's brother now?

2 answers:

8 0

So first you add 8 and 2 to get 10. This means that Kevin is 10 years old now. If he is currently twice as old as his brother it means that you divide 10 by 2 to get 5. Kevin's brother is 5 years old.

Answer: 5 years old

<span>k = 2b
k - 2 = 8

k - 2 = 8

Add 2 to both sides:

k = 10

Plug in 10 for 'k' in the first equation:

10 = 2b

Divide 2 to both sides:

b = 5

So his brother is 5 years old now.</span>

one tank is filling at a rate of 3/4 per gallon per 2/3 minute .a second tank is at a 5/8 gallon per 1 half gallon per 1/2 minut

$recall\ that\implies \cfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{{{ d}}}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{{{ d}}}{c}\qquad thus
\\ \quad \\

\cfrac{\frac{3g}{4}}{\frac{2m}{3}}\implies \cfrac{3g}{4}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}
\\-------------\\
\cfrac{\frac{5g}{8}}{\frac{1m}{2}}\implies \cfrac{5g}{8}\cdot \cfrac{2}{1m}\implies \cfrac{\square ?}{\square ?}$

so... you tells us, which filling rate is the bigger and thus faster one?
