<u>Answer:</u>

13 years

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

5 years ago, let the grandchild's age to be x so the grandfather's age will be 5x.

3 years from now, the grandchild's age will be x+8 (x+3+5) and the grandfather's age will be 5x+8 (5x+3+8).

So we can establish an equation:

5x+8=3(x+8)

5x+8=3x+24

5x-3x=24-8

2x=16

x=8

Therefore, the present age of the grandchild is x+5 = 8+5 = 13 years and the present age of the grandfather is 5x+5 = 5(8)+5 = 45.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

13 years old

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let g and m represent grandfather's age now and my age now. The relation 5 years ago was ...

... g -5 = 5(m -5)

The relation in 3 years will be ...

... g +3 = 3(m +3)

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

... 8 = -2m +34

... 2m = 26 . . . . . add 2m-8

... m = 13

My age now is 13.

Is there a pattern behind prime numbers?
Trava [24]

Answer:

A clear rule determines exactly what makes a prime: it's a whole number that can't be exactly divided by anything except 1 and itself. But there's no discernible pattern in the occurrence of the primes. ... That's because after the number 5, there are only four possibilities — 1, 3, 7 and 9 — for prime last digits

There are 364 students who are enrolled in an introductory biology course. If there are five boys to every eight girls, how many
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The number of boys in the course will be = 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students enrolled in an introductory biology course = 364

There are 5 boys to every 8 girls in the course.

To find how many boys are in the course.

Solution:

Since, there are 5 boys to every 8 girls in the course.

So, ratio of boys to girls enrolled in the course = 5 : 8

Let the number of boys in the course be = 5x

Then number of girls in the course will be =  8x

Total number of students would be given as:

⇒ <em>Number of boys + Number of girls</em>

⇒ 5x+8x

⇒ 13x

Total number of students given = 364.

Thus, we have:

13x=364

solving for x

Dividing both sides by 13.

\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{364}{13}

∴ x=28

So, number of boys in the course will be = 5\times 28 = 140
