Lenny is 36 max is 12

Lenny is 3 times older then Max. When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24

Let the Lenny's age is L

Max's age is M

Lenny is 3 times older then Max

Lenny = 3 * Max

So L = 3M

When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.

L - M = 24

Replace L with 3M

The equation  that represents the situation is

3M - M = 24

(b) Solve the equation

3M - M = 24

2M = 24 (Divide by 2)

M = 12

Max's age = 24

Lenny's age = 3 * 12 = 36

So Lenny's age is 36

Lee and Maya are collecting leaves for an art project lee collects 25/100 of the total number leaves needed. Maya collects 4/10
MrRissso [65]

Answer:  The answer is \dfrac{13}{20}.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Lee and Maya are collecting leaves for an art project. Let'x' be the total number of leaves needed in the project.

Then, the number of leaves collected by Lee is given by

L_\ell=\dfrac{25}{100}x,

and the fraction of the leaves collected by Maya is given by

M_\ell=\dfrac{4}{10}x.

Therefore, the total number of leaves collected by Lee and Maya altogether is

L=L_\ell+M_\ell=\dfrac{25}{100}x+\dfrac{4}{10}x=\dfrac{25+40}{100}x=\dfrac{65}{100}x=\dfrac{13}{20}x.

Thus, the total fraction of the leaves collected by Lee and Maya is

\dfrac{13}{20}.

Enter your answer as a simplified fraction formatted like this: 42/53
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

\displaystyle -0.\overline{37}=-\frac{37}{99}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Convert a Repeating Decimal to a Fraction </u>

We need to convert the following decimal to a fraction:

-0.\overline{37}

Let's call x to the given number:

x=-0.\overline{37}

The number has two repeating (periodic) decimals, thus we multiply by 100:

100x=-37.\overline{37}

Note the decimals continue to repeat exactly like the original number.

Subtracting both expressións, the repeating decimals are simplified:

100x - x = -37

Operating:

99x=-37

Dividing by 99:

\displaystyle x=-\frac{37}{99}

The fraction cannot be simplified, thus:

\mathbf{\displaystyle -0.\overline{37}=-\frac{37}{99}}
