Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.
This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 OR 2³ x 3²
3 ages.
eldest = 3³ = 9
middle = 2² = 4
youngest = 2¹ = 2
2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72
Answer:
<u><em>16 : 2 + 3 </em></u> (remember pemdas)
Step-by-step explanation:
Zoe is 16 years old. Her brother, Luke, is 3 years more than half her age. Write a numerical expression for Luke's age.
16 : 2 + 3 = 11
1- one half more than three fourths of a number
2- three fourths minus one half of a number
3- three fourths minus the sum of a number and one half

Answer:
Step 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Steps used by Shelly to evaluate the expression
To find: step that includes Shelly's mistake
Solution:
According to PEMDAS,
P denotes Parentheses
E denotes Exponents
M denotes Multiplication
D denotes Division
A denotes Addition
S denotes subtraction
Step 3 is 
and step 4 is 
In step 4, first subtraction operation has been applied before the division operation.
There is a mistake in step 4 as according to PEMDAS, first -20 should be divided by 5 then 1 should be subtracted from the resultant number.
