Difference between age of oldest child and youngest child is 7 years

<u>Solution: </u>

Need to find difference between Oldest and youngest child.

Let assume Amy’s age be represented by variable A

And assume Betty’s age be represented by variable B

And assume Carl's age be represented by Variable C.

Lets first try to calculate each age from given equation.

So From Given information,

Amy's age plus Betty's age is 29 years  

A + B = 29      ------(1)

Amy's plus Carl's age is 27 years.  

A + C = 27      ------(2)  

Betty's plus Carl's age is 22 years.

B + C = 22      ------(3)

On subtracting equation (3) from (2) we get

(A + C) – (B + C) = 27 – 22

=> A – B = 5    ------(4)

On adding equation (1) and (4), we get

(A + B) + (A – B) = 29 + 5

=> 2A = 34

=> A = 17

From (1)

A + B = 29

=> 17 + B = 29

=> B = 29 – 17 = 12

From (3)

B + C = 22

=> 12 + C = 22

=> C = 22 -12 = 10

So Amy’s age A = 17, Betty’s age B = 12 and Carl’s age C = 10

So Youngest is Carl and Oldest in Amy

And <em>difference between age of oldest child and youngest child </em><em>= Amy age - Carl age</em>

= 17 – 10 = 7 years

1/3 divided by 4 show your work
Molodets [167]

Answer:

= 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3  ÷ 4

= 1/3 × 1/4

You turn ÷ to × , when this is done, the next number after the × would be turned also to its inverse or reciprocal.

= 1/3 × 1/4

Multiply the numerator and denominator

That is

= (1 × 1) / (3 × 4)

= 1/12

New shoes are on SALE. You find a pair you like for $85 dollars. But you only have $45 with you. So, you pay $40 and
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

<em>C) $46.80</em>

Explanation:

The price of new shoes = $85

The amount paid for the shoes  = $ 40

The balance amount for the shoes = $85 - $40 = $ 45

The rate of interest = 8%  

The time period = 6 months = 0.5 years

Simple interest:

Simple interest =  = $1.8

So, Amount = Principal + Interest

or, Amount = $45 + $1.8 = $ 46.8

<em>The balance amount owned in six months is $46.8</em>
