Answer:

1) 48 years.

2) Question incorrect.

11 isn't a factor of 64, and 368 isn't a multiple of 64. 11 also isn't a factor of 368, hence, it would be impossible to find the unknown second number with all of these false information in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages of Kissi, Esinam and Lariba be x, y and z respectively.

Ratio of the ages of Kissi and Esinam is 3:5

x:y = 3:5

(x/y) = (3/5)

5x = 3y

x = (3y/5) (eqn 1)

Ratio of the ages of Esinam and Lariba is 3:5

y:z = 3:5

(y/z) = (3/5)

5y = 3z

z = (5y/3) (eqn 2)

The sum of their 3 ages is 147

x + y + z = 147 (eqn 3)

Substituting the values of x and z from eqn 1 and 2 into eqn 3, we have

(3y/5) + y + (5y/3) = 147

(49y/15) = 147

y = (147×15/49) = 45.

x = (3y/5) = (3×45/5) = 27

z = (5y/3) = (5×45/3) = 75

The ages of Kissi, Esinam and Lariba are then 27, 45 and 75 respectively.

The difference in the ages of the oldest amf the youngest is thus, 75 - 27 = 48 years.

2) This question seems to be faulty and incorrect as 11 isn't a factor of 64, and 368 isn't a multiple of 64. 11 also isn't a factor of 368, hence, it would be impossible to find the unknown second number with all of these false information in the question.

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the number of DEGREES rotated in a circle of radius 6 inches if an arc is created with a length of 11(pi) inches
artcher [175]

Radius = 6 inches

Arc lenght = 11pi inches

Degrees ?

Arc lenght = radius x angle in radians

A = r * a

Solving for a:

a = A/r = 11pi/6 = 5.759586532 radians

5.759586532 to degrees ==> a = 330 degrees

Answer:

330 degrees

A hotel charges $90 per day for a double room $80 per day for a single room. If a total of 80 single and double rooms are occupi
SashulF [63]

Answer:

the number of single room is 27 and the number of double room  is 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the number of single room

Let y is the number of double room

We know that:

x + y = 80 <=> x = 80 -y (1)

80x +90y= 6930 (2)

Substitute (1) in (2) we have:

80 (80 - y) + 90y = 6930

<=> 6400 - 80y +90y = 6930

<=> y = 53

> x = 80 - 53 = 27

the number of single room is 27 and the number of double room  is 53
