Answer:

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = poonams age

Let s = shalini's age

p = 5s

p+s = 72

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

5s+s = 72

Combine like terms

6s= 72

Divide by 6

6s/6 = 72/6

s = 12

p = 5s =5*12 = 60

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

Answer:

3 $\frac{46}{81}$

Step-by-step explanation:

change 1 $\frac{8}{9}$ to an improper fraction

$\frac{17}{9}$ × $\frac{17}{9}$ = $\frac{289}{81}$ = 3 $\frac{46}{81}$ or 3.57 ( to 2 dec. places )
