Given that:
James is 6 times older than his friend Zach, if Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3 .
To find:
The equation that can be used to solve for zach's age.
Solution:
Let the age of zach be Z.
Zach added 8 to his age = Z+8
And multiplied this sum by 3 = 3(Z+8)
James is 6 times older than his friend Zach = 6Z
Now,
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, the required equation is is age of zach is 8 years.
Answer:
the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM
Step-by-step explanation:
since the volume doubles every minute , the formula for calculating the volume V at any time t is
V(t)=V₀*2^-t , where t is in minutes back from 10 AM and V₀= container volume
thus for t=1 min (9:59 AM) the volume is V₁=V₀/2 (half of the initial one) , for t=2 (9:58 AM) is V₂=V₁/2=V₀/4 ...
therefore when the container is 1/4 full the volume is V=V₀/4 , thus replacing in the equation we obtain
V=V₀*2^-t
V₀/4 = V₀*2^-t
1/4 = 2^-t
appling logarithms
ln (1/4) = -t* ln 2
t = - ln (1/4)/ln 2 = ln 4 /ln 2 = 2*ln 2 / ln 2 = 2
thus t=2 min before 10 AM → 9:58 AM
therefore the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM
Answer:a
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5/6
2. 2/3 x 5/6
3. 2/3 x 5/6 = 10/18
Multiply the numerators— 2 x 5 = 10
Multiply the denominators—3x 6= 18
4. 10/18 = 5/9
Find the greatest common factor of 10 and 18 which is 2.
Divide the numerator by 2– 10/2 = 5
Divide the denominator by 2– 18/2 = 9
I hope this helps!
