The answer would be 48 because the first answer is 60 minus the second answer which is 12 to get 48
Given
Rob is twice Joshua's age
Nick is 5 years older than Joshua.
sum of all their ages is 45.
Find the age of nick.
To proof
As given
Rob is twice Joshua's age
let Joshua's age = x
than Rob age = 2x
Nick is 5 years older than Joshua.
Nick age = 5 + x
sum of all their ages is 45
than the equation becomes
Joshua's age + Rob age + Nick age = 45
put the value
x + 2x + 5 + x = 45
4x = 40
x = 10
Joshua's age = 10 year
than Rob age = 20 year
Nick age = 5 + 10
= 15year
Hence proved
7 1/4 + 5 3/5
First, you need a common denominator to add the two. 20 will work.
4x5=20, so we have to also multiply 1 by 5.
4x5=20, 1x5=5
5x4=20, so we have to also multiply 3 by 4.
5x4=20, 3x4=12
And now we put the fractions back in.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20
And add them.
7 5/20 + 5 12/20 = 12 17/20
Now, we're supposed to reduce it to its lowest form.
Unfortunately, the fraction cannot be reduced, because 17 is a prime number, meaning there are no factors to it except one and itself.
Therefore, the lowest form of 12 17/20 is 12 17/20
Your answer is B, 12 17/20
