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

In a class of 29 students, 19 are female and 14 have an a in the class. there are 8 students who are male and do not have an a i
vodomira [7]

Answer:

5/ 19 ≈ 0.26 = 26%

Step-by-step explanation:

given: student is female. there is a 100% chance that the student is female

probability we want = (favorable outcomes) / (total outcomes)

total outcomes = 19 because there are 19 female students and the student must be female

favorable outcomes = 19 - 14 = 5 females who do not have an A in the class

probability = 5/ 19 ≈ 0.26 = 26%

A farmer grows two types of grain in his fields. He has a seed budget of $17,000.00 and has spent $9,200.00 to plant wheat seed
Helen [10]
Okay so first you have to subtract 17000 from 9200 to see how much money you have left to spend. Then once you get that number, which is 7800, you have to see what's that maximum number of acres that you can get. So you divide 7800 from 41.00 and you can get your answer. Your answer will be 190 acres. 190 acres is the highest you can go without going over budget.
