Alexis12yearsolderthanGeorge.
1 answer:
Answer:
1:12:4
Step-by-step explanation:
We let the youngest, George, age be x
From the question Alex is 12 years older than George.
This implies that,in terms of x, Alex's age is x+12
Also,Carl is three times older than Alex
This implies that, in terms of x Carl's age is 3(x+12)
The sum of their ages is 68
This implies that
we simplify to get the value for x
subtracting 48 from both sides
Dividing through by 5
Hence George is 4yrs old,Alex is 16 yrs old and Carl is 48 yrs old.
Therefore the ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age is 4:48:16=1:12:4

In Graph x-axis represents number of visits and y-axis represents cost.
As graph comes up to be a linear one, so we can clearly say that cost is increasing linearly in multiples of 5.5 with increase in number of visits.
Example :
If museum is visited once then cost (y) = 5.5 x 1 = 5.5
If museum is visited twice then cost (y) = 5.5 x 2 = 11
If museum is visited thrice then cost (y) = 5.5 x 3 = 16.5
... cost (y) goes on in creasing when number of visits (x) increase with multiples of 5.5
