Hello There!

As for this problem, we would have to set up an equation in order to determine the missing age. We would do this because we want to find the missing age and by setting up an equation it will help find the age easier, as opposed to manually calculating it. With that said, let's begin to solve.

First, we would create an equation based on what the question says, which would look as:

x + x + 2 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Subtract two from both sides.

2x = 10

The grand daughter is 5 years old and since the grandson is two years older he is 7.

Thus,

The age of the granddaughter is 5

The age of the grandson is 7

Lelechka [254]
The volume a cylinder is v=(area of base)h and since the area of the base is πr², you can write the equation a v=πr²h.  Since the problem wants us to find what be is in the equation of a cylinder as v=Bh, we know that B=πr².  The problem gave us the diameter of the circle so we no the radius is going to be the diameter (24) divided by 2 which equals 12.  therefore B=12²π.

I hope this helps.

If the ratio of purple bikes to red bikes is 8 to 12 and there are a total of 100 bikes, how many of them are purple? * 40 purpl
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 8 + 12 = 20 parts

Divide the total by 20 to find the value of one part of the ratio

100 ÷ 20 = 5 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , thus

8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ← number of purple bikes
