Answer:
120 cubes are required.........
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is look at the numbers in order from the greatest number, to the least. For example, in this problem, we would start with the 5 in 513251, and the 5 in 513521. Since they are both fives, we don't know yet which one is bigger. So we move onto the next number, which would be the 1 in 513251, and the 1 in 513521. They are both the same, so we go onto the 3 in 513251, and the 3 in 513521. Those are also both the same, to we go onto the 2 in 513251, and the 5 in 513521. As you can see, the 5 from 513521 is greater then the 2 in 513251, so that shows that 513521 is greater.
<span>Jerry is 8 years younger than Patricia, so:
(1): Jerry = Patricia - 8
Six years ago, Patricia was 3 times as old as Jerry was then, so:
(2): (Patricia - 6) = (Jerry - 6)*3
Putting equation 1 in to equation 2
(Patricia - 6) = (Patricia - 8 - 6)*3
Patricia - 6 = 3Patricia - 42
36 = 2Patricia
Patricia = 18
And so Jerry = 10</span>
