What's up? this answer is B, 72
we can figure out that one third of melissa's age is 24 because 18+6= 24. simply eliminate the obvious incorrect answers, A and C. 78/3= 26 so it isn't D
72/3=24 it is B
best of luck with your studies
In plain and short, we simply will divide the whole amount of 2.5lbs by (7+2+5), and then distribute accordingly to each component,

Let's say that the coordinates of the squirrel are: (x, y)
Since the coordinates of the acorn is halfway, between the tree and the squirrel, that means the acorn is the midpoint.
To work out the midpoint you do:
(sum of x-coordinates) divided by 2, (sum of y coordinates) divided by 2.
We can use this to form an equation .
So the sum of the x coordinates of the tree and the squirrel = -1 :
x-coordinates of the squirrel:
<em>(now solve for x)</em>


y-coordinates:
<em>(now solve for y)</em>


So the coordinates of the squirrel are: (1, 2)
