Brooke is 8 years old! This is what I did⬇️
5x2=10. (In 5 yrs 10 will add to the sum of their age.
29-10=19. (The sum of their ages right now is 19)
11 + 8 = 19 ( 11 is 3 more than 8 and it equals their ages together)
Brooke:8
Samantha:11
The first step is to write each factor in expanding notation.
This is:
- 124 = 100 + 20 + 4
- 2 = 2
Now muliply 2 times each term of the terms 100, 20 and 4
=> 2 * 100 = 200
2 * 20 = 40
2 * 4 = 8
Then,
(100 + 20 + 4 )
x 2
-----------------------
8
40
200
------------------------
248
Answer: A. Wed to Fri
We have a bunch of natural numbers and we're told a pair is in the ratio 2:5.
For natural numbers to have this ratio, the left number will be a multiple of two and the right number will be a multiple of five.
Our only option for a multiple of 5 is 15, Friday. So we have
2:5 = x:15
and x = 15*2/5 = 6
which was Wednesday's number. So we get Wed:Fri=6:15=2:5.
