3)The original rational number was 17/12.
4)The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
Explanation:
3)Let the numerator be x.
So denominator will be (x - 5)
If we add 5 to numberator then it will be (x + 5)
New number is (x + 5)/(x - 5)=11/6
Solve for X by cross multiplying
6(x + 5)=11(x - 5)
6x + 30=11x - 55
5x=85
x=17
So original rational number was 17/12.
4)The ages of Ruby and Reshma are in the ratio 5:7
So, let the present ages of Ruby and Reshma be 5x and 7x respectively.
Also, it is given that four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 3:4
So, the equation - 5x + 4 / 7x + 3 = 3/4
⇒4(5x+4)=3(7x+4)
⇒20x+16=21x+12
⇒21x−20x=16−12
⇒x=4
⇒5x=20 and 7x=28
The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
Take 38,000 minus 6,840 and then you got your answer
First, we are going to find the painted area of his house. We know that the total area he needs to paint is 4000 square meters, so 4000 is the area of this house. Now, to find the 62.5% of that area, we are going to multiply it by

:
Painted area=

Now, to find <span>rate, in square feet per hour, we are going to divide the painted area by the number of hours:
Rate=</span>

We can conclude that Kyler paints at a rate of
434.78 square feet per hour.
