Let janes age be x 
let Harvey's age be 3x (as three times old as jane)
x+3x=48
4x=48
x=48/4
there fore x= 12
janes age= 12 
Harvey's age = 3x
                     =3*12
                     =36

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

C. To make sure all temporary accounts have a zero balance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The closing process is an accounting method applied at the end of the year with the purpose of ensuring that all accounts are ready for the preparation of financial statements, as well as the start of a new accounting year.

Temporary accounts are made permanent. Also, the accounts for the present year are zeroed. By so doing, only the current balance will be reflected in the new year accounts.

Min works in the kitchen of a catering company. Today her job is to cut whole pita bread into small triangles. Min uses a cuttin
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The number of squares of whole pita bread Min will have to cut up is;

<u><em>21 squares of whole pita bread</em></u>

  • Since the triangle is isosceles, and has base of 4 cm with 2 equal sides of 6 cm, it means the height is 5.7 cm.

  • Thus, area of triangle is;

A = ¹/₂ × 4 × 5.7

A = 11.4 cm²

  • She will cut 3 pita triangles for every guest. This means that;

Area for each guest = 3 × 11.4 = 33.2 cm²

  • There are 250 guests and so the total needed for the 250 guests is;

Total area = 250 × 33.2

Total area of pita bread = 8300 cm²

  • The bread comes in 20 cm sides of a square shape.

Area of square = 20 × 20 = 400 cm²

  • Number of squares of whole pita bread she will have to cut = 8300/400

⇒ 20.75 ≈ 21 squares of whole pita bread
