Present age of Selma = s

Present age of Joyce = j

Selma is now 3 times as old as joyce

s=3j........(1)

Four years ago,

s-4=j-4

then

Selma was 4 times as old as joyce

s-4=4(j-4)

s-4=4j-16

s=4j-16+4

s=4j-12.............(2)

Put the value of s in (2) from (1)

3j=4j-12

3j-4j=-12

-j=-12

Multiply by -1 both sides

j=12

Put the value of j in (1)

s=3j

s=3(12)

s=36

Present age of Selma = s = 36 years old

Present age of Joyce = j = 12 years old

The following data show the scores of some students in a competition:
Dima020 [189]

The box plot that represents the data is a box plot titled "Scores of Participants" and labeled "Score" uses a number line from 10 to 35 with primary markings and labels at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35. The box extends from 13 to 27 on the number line. A line in the box is at 24. The whiskers end at 11 and 31.(second option)

<h3>Which box plot represents the data?</h3>

A box plot is used to study the distribution and level of a set of scores. The whiskers represent the minimum and maximum values.

On the box, the first line to the left represents the lower (first) quartile. The next line on the box represents the median. The third line on the box represents the upper (third) quartile. 75% of the scores represents the upper quartile.

The data arranged in ascending order : 11, 13, 23, 24, 24, 27, 31

Median = 24

First quartile = 1/4 x (7 + 1) = 2nd term =13

Third quartile = 3/4 x (7 + 1) = 6th term = 27
