Hey there!
Tom's age to Mary's is 3:4; an equivalent ratio is 15:x (x symbolizes Mary's age).
To solve for this, we need to divide our proportions. By that, I mean divide Tom's older age by his younger age. If we do so, we should get a scale factor that we can multiply Mary's younger age by.
15 / 3 = 5
This means that the scale factor of the ages is 5.
x / 4 = 5 (Solving for Mary's unknown age.)
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 4.
x/4 * 4 = x
5 * 4 = 20
x = 20
Mary's age is 20.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
It takes the frog 7 hours to get out of the well.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the well is 11 feet deep and the frog can climb 3 feet per hour.
Each time it climbs, it rests for an hour, and decreases its height by 1 foot.
So, if the frog reaches 3 feet in the first hour, then in the next hour it is 2 feet.
Lets calculate with the same pattern:
1st hour: 3 feet
2nd hour:
feet
3rd hour:
feet
4th hour:
feet
5th hour:
feet
6th hour:
feet
5th hour:
feet
6th hour:
feet
7th hour:
feet
Therefore, it takes the frog 7 hours to get out of the well.
C + 9 because you are adding o mode cars and an expression doesn't have an equal sign (=)
