Answer: Bridge is 21 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so after reading the question I already know that B (Bridget), A (Angad) and P (Paul) is 49 in the sum of age. I also know that B=A+5 and P=A-4. After that I can assume B=P+5+4. So now after we gather everything, the age of all of them is the same if we delete 5, 4, 4 (From B=P+5+4 and P=A-4). 49-5-4-4=36. So now lets assume they are all 12 (36/3=12). B is 5 years older so lets add 5 to B. B=17, A=12 and P=8. 8+12+17= 37. We now know that but 37 is 12 under 49, so lets add the average 12/3=4 so we add 4 to all of them. B=21 A=16 P=12. 21+16+12=49. So Bridge is 21 years old, Angad is 16 years old and Paul is 12 years old

The rope is 1 and 1/3 long,1 is the same as saying 3/3,
this means that the rope is 3/3 + 1/3 long,so it is 4/3 foot long,
you now want to get half of this number so that each person has an equal length of rope,so multiply the length of rope by a half,
4/3 x 1/2 = 4/6 , which if simplified = 2/3, this means that each friend gets 2/3 foot of rope.
You can draw this in a diagram by drawing the 1 foot of rope, and then dividing it up into 3 sections. Then add the 1/3 foot of rope into the drawing. It should then be easy to see that altogether there are 4 separate sections of rope and that if each friend has two sections then they will be sharing equal amounts, so consequently each friend has two of the thirds of rope, 2/3
