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

The volume of a cube is 8000 cubic feet, what is the area of one of its faces?
eimsori [14]

Since a cube is l x w x h, find the length of one side first:

∛8,000 = 20

The length of one side is 20 feet. This can represented as "s".

To find the area of one of the faces, use s²:

20²   or   20 x 20 = 400

The area of one face is 400 ft²!
