Answer:

He is 3 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times 9 is 27. She is 9 times older than her 3 year old son.

Answer:

The son is 3 years now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent his age and his son's age respectively.

Given;

I am $9$ times as old as my son

9y = x ........1

Next year, I will be $7$ times as old as my son.

7(y+1) = x + 1 ....2

Substituting equation 1 to 2;

7(y+1) = 9y + 1

7y + 7 = 9y + 1

Collecting the like terms

9y - 7y = 7 -1

2y = 6

y = 6/2 = 3

Since x = 9y

x = 9(3)

x = 27

The son is 3 years and he is 27 years now.

According to a study, 13 out of 25 people enjoy jogging. What
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

48% of people do NOT like walking

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write it as a fraction 13/25 (People who like jogging)

We want to find out the number of people who DON'T like walking, so we subtract 25-13=12. Put 12/25.

Lastly, convert into a percentage. Percent is out of 100, so we need to make the fraction out of 100. To do this multiply the numerator and the denominator by 4. 48/100.

=

48%

Hope this helps,

Help with all of the math questions please I dont understand and there is more questions
Pie
21. Smith received 60% of the votes
       Murphy received 1/3 or 33%
      100% - (60% + 33%) = 100 - 93 = 7%......so where is the other 7% of the votes. The vote total should equal 100%

22. Food : 500/2000 reduces to 1/4......or 25%......or 0.25
      Rent : 1200/2000 reduces to 3/5....or 60% ...or 0.6
      Transportation : 300/2000 reduces to 3/20...or 15%..or 0.15

23. sum of the rows:
      Food + rent + trans = 1/4 + 3/5 + 3/20 = 5/20 + 12/20 + 3/20 = 20/20 = 1
      Food + rent + trans = 25% + 60% + 15% = 100%
      Food + rent + trans = 0.25 + 0.6 + 0.15 = 1
      The sums should all equal because the percent, decimals, and fractions are all the same, just in a different form

24. 14.5% = 0.145 = 145/1000 = 29/200
       14.5 = 14.5 = 14 1/2 = 29/2
14.5% is less then 1
14.5 is greater then 1
