Answer:

a: equation is x +2x = 24 here x is the variable used for age of Bob's sister thrn Bob's age is represented by 2x.

b: x + 2x= 24

3x= 24

x = 24/3

x= 8

So Bob's sister is 8 years old and Bob is 2x = 2× 8 = 16 years old.

From 1960 to 1980, the consumer price index (CPI) increased from 34.6 to 82.4 If a gallon of milk cost $0.75 in 1960 and the pri
bonufazy [111]
Hello! So, we could set up a proportion to solve this, because the price and CPI increased at the same rate. Let's set it up like this: 34.6/82.4 = 0.75/x. This is because we know the prices from the 1960's, but we don't know the gallon of milk price in 1980, and we line them up like that to make sure we get the proper answer. Cross multiply the values in order to get 34.6x = 61.8. Now, divide each side by 34.6 to isolate the variable. x ≈ 1.7861 and other numbers behind it or 1.79 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The price for a gallon of milk in 1980 was about $1.79.

We add all these mixed numbers together:

1 1/2 + 2 3/4 + 2 1/3

It will be easier to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

3/2 + 11/4 + 7/3

Now we have to find the common denominator which is 12:

18/12 + 33/12 + 28/12 = 79/12 = 6 7/12

The answer is 6 7/12 hours.
