Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.
This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 OR 2³ x 3²
3 ages.
eldest = 3³ = 9
middle = 2² = 4
youngest = 2¹ = 2
2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72
Answer:
Near 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
speed of car A =Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that speed of car A is equal to speed of car B.
Also let car A travels x miles.
and car B travels y miles.
Car A reaches its destination in 17 minutes.
this means that speed of car A is given by:
miles/minutes ( since speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time).
Car B reaches its destination in 32 minutes.
This means that the speed of car B is given by:
miles/minutes
as speed of both cars are equal this means:
------(1)
Also we are given Car B travels 12 miles farther than Car A.
this means 
------(2)
on using equation (1) and (2) we have:

Hence the speed of car A is 0.8 miles/minutes ( since x/17 is the speed of car A)
Speed of car B=0.8 miles/minutes.
Grouping method works best on this one:
<span>ab+a+4+4b=a<span>(b+1)</span>+4<span>(b+1)</span></span>
<span>=<span>(a+4)</span><span>(b+1<span>)
</span></span></span>
Answer:
Eraser cost €0,2
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of ereaser - x
Cost of pencil - x + 1
x + x + 1 = 1,4
2x + 1 = 1,4
2x = 0,4
x = 0,2
