Answer:
Patricia is 47 years old
Sharla is 55 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the first sentence as an equation: (S= Sharla) (P= Patricia)
S=P+8
Rewrite the second sentence as an equation:
S+P=102
1) Substitute P+8 as Sharla in the second equation:
P+8+P=102
2) Combine alike terms:
2P+8=102
3) Subtract 8 from both sides:
2P=94
4) Divide both sides by 2:
P=47
5) Substitute 47 as P in the <u>First</u> equation:
S=47+8
6) Solve:
S=55
Answer:
0.125 inches per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
2.25/18 = 0.125
0.125in per hour
1% of 120 is 1.2, so 7 *1.2 = 8.4
Also you could set up the proportion 7/100 = x/120 and solve for x.
