The present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the present age of Jane be "x"

Let the present age of her sister be "y"

<em><u>Jane is 5 times older than her sister</u></em>

present age of Jane = 5(present age of her sister)

x = 5y ---------- eqn 1

<em><u>In 3 years, Jane’s sister will be 1/4 her age</u></em>

Age of sister after 3 years = 3 + y

Age of jane after 3 years = 3 + x

Age of sister after 3 years = 1/4(age of jane after 3 years)

3 + y = \frac{1}{4}(3 + x)

Substitute eqn 1 in above equation

3 + y = \frac{1}{4}(3 + 5y)\\\\12 + 4y = 3 + 5y\\\\5y - 4y = 12 - 3\\\\y = 9

Substitute y = 9 in eqn 1

x = 5(9)

x = 45

Thus present age of Jane is 45 years old and present age of her sister is 9 years old

Tresset [83]

Answer:

They went over their goal for the last six months by 34 minutes per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of a data-set:

The mean of a data-set is the sum of all values in the data-set divided by the size of the data-set.

529, 499, 651, 652, 1,163, and 310 minutes on their cell phone plan.

The mean is:

M = \frac{529+499+651+652+1163+310}{6} = 634

By how many minutes did they go over their goal in the last six months?

The mean was of 634 minutes, and they wanted to keep it below 600. So

634 - 600 = 34

They went over their goal for the last six months by 34 minutes per month.
