The automobile was invented in 1886, therefore it is 132 years old. The odometer was invented in 1775. It is 243 years old.
Small number=S
Large number= L
Write the equations:
S=L/4
L-S=36
Plug the first one in the second one:
L-L/4=36
3L/4=36
L=48
Then S=L/4=48/4=12
3:5...added = 8
3/8(2000) = 6000/8 = 750 use brand x aspirin <===
5/8(2000) = 10000/8 = 1250 do not use brand x aspirin
x= wildfires in 2003
163,476= 4x - 12,520
(163,476 + 12,520) / 4
x = 43,999 your answer is 43,999
