Answer:
Mr.Lin's present age is 30 years now. His son is 8 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = Mr.Lin's present age,
S = his son's present age.
First equation is
L + S = 38. (1)
The second equation is
L + 3 = 3*(S+3) (2) ("In three years' time, Mr.Lin will be three times as old as his son.")
From (1), express S = 38-L and substitute it into (2). You will get
L + 3 = 3*((38-L)+3), or
L + 3 = 114 - 3L + 9,
4L = 114 + 9 - 3,
4L = 120,
L = 30.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Red = 6
Blue = 3
Green = 5
Total = 14
First marble = 6/14 = 3/7 You now have 5 reds and 13 total
Second Marble = 5 * 13 which brings you down to 4 red and 12 total.
Third Marble = 4/12 = 1/3
Result
P(3 Red) = 3/7 * 5/13 * 1/3 cancel the 3s
P(3 Red) = 1/7 * 5/13
P(3 Red) = 5/91
P(3 Red) = 0.0549 . Rounding to the nearest 1/100 depends on what you have been told about rounding. I would say the answer is 0.05 but your teacher may say something different.
Answer:
18 smaller bags
Step-by-step explanation:
Each one pound bag becomes 3 one-third pound bags.
So 6 one pound bags will become 6×3=18 one-third pound bags.
Answer:
120º
Step-by-step explanation:
angles of an equilateral triangle are equal so..
180 ÷ 3 = 60º
to get the exterior m⦣C
180 - interior m⦣C = exterior m⦣C
180º - 60º = 120º
Answer:
132 children and 88 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the amount of kids and y represent the amount of adults.
since the problem says there was a total of 220 people at the fair an equation can be made
x+y=220
the problem tells that each childrens ticket was 1.5$ and each adult ticket was $4 and that a total of $550 was made that day, we can use the knowledge to make an equation:
1.5x + 4y = 550
using the equations we can make this systems of equations:
1.5x + 4y =550
x + y =220
solve the systems of equations by subracting y on both sides of th bottom equation:
x=220-y
since x is equivant to 220-y it can be substitued for x in the first equation to make this:
1.5(220-y)+4y =550
--solve for y--
y=88 - there were 88 adults
substute 88 for y in the second equation
x+88=220
--solve for x--
x=138 - there were 132 children
