Answer:

Brother is 70.5 and sister is 64.5

Step-by-step explanation:

you will need to set up a simple equation and give out variables.

Girls age = 6-x

Brother's age= x

the you will take those 2 and add them and place them equal to 135:

6-x+x=135

6-2x+6=135+6

The 6 cancels out

2x=141

2x/2=141/2

x=70.5

The brother's age would be 70.5 then and the girl's would be 64.5

Select Proportional or Not Proportional to correctly classify each pair of ratios. Proportional Not Proportional 12/30 and 18/45
Zinaida [17]
12/30 = 18/45....cross multiply
(30)(18) = (12)(45)
540 = 540...proportional

another way to tell is to see if they are equivalent...because proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions.
12/30 = 2/5
18/45 = 2/5
so yes, they are proportional
