Answer:

17 1/4 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to convert both mixed fractions into an improper fraction.

11 5/8 = 93/8                                                                                                                    

5 5/8 = 45/8

Then, we simply add the 2 fractions : 93/8 + 45/8 = 138/8 = 69/4 when simplified. In mixed numbers, the answer is 17 1/4.

To add mixed numbers like you have here, you first have to convert them into fractions.

To do this, multiply the whole number part of the mixed number by the denominator, and add that value to the numerator.

So, 5 5/8 would become 45/8, because 5 x 8 = 40, and 40 + 5 = 45.
Likewise, 11 5/8 would become 93/8, because 11 x 8 = 88, and 88 + 5 = 93.
This gives us 45/8 + 93/8.

Now, to add the fractions. The two fractions have the same denominator already, so it is easy to add them. Simply add the numerators and keep the denominator the same.
The result of this is 143/8.

To simplify this to mixed number form, divide the numerator by the denominator. This results in 17.875. This means that 17 is your whole number part of the mixed number.
To find out how many eighths you'll have, multiply the 17 you just got by the denominator (8), and subtract the result from your large numerator. 17 x 8 = 136, and 143 - 136 = 7.

Your final result is 17 and 7/8.

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara in 4 years Ralph will be twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph’s age now.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

3x+4 Ralph is currently 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the equation by reading the scenario given. When you read it, it says that Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara and since her current age is going to be used to represent x you will first get 3x. That automatically eliminates the second and third choice given. It then says the equation is for Ralph's age in four years which means to add four to the equation. This gives you 3x+4 as your equation.

When something is tripled and then in a few years it is doubled, it is easiest to first try the number that is being added. So in this case the number is four. When you multiply 4 by 3 you get 12. If Sara is 4 she'll turn eight in four years and if Ralph is 12 he'll turn 16 in four years. 16 divided by 2 is 8 which shows you that Ralph is currently 12
