Mathematics

Nostrana [21]4 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Let x represents Sara's age, since Ralph is 3 times as old, the Ralph's age will be 3x.

In 4 years time, Sara will be  x+ 4 , Ralph will also be 3x + 4

It was said that Ralph will be as twice as Sara's age in 4 years

⇒ 3x + 4 = 2 ( x+4)

⇒  3x + 4 = 2x + 8

collecting the like terms

3x - 2x = 8 - 4

        x = 4

Since x represents Sara's age, then Sara is 4 years and since Ralph is presently 3 times Sara's age, then Ralph's age is 3 x 4 = 12 years

Fill in the missing numbers to create equivalent ratios.
jasenka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find missing numbers in equivalent ratios is to multiply the means (the first denominator and the second numerator) and multiply the extremes (the first numerator and the second denominator). It sounds really complicated, but it is quite simple =)

2/5 = x/10

The means in this equivalent ration are 5 and x. The extremes are 2 and 10.

5x = 20

Now solve =)

x = 4

That was pretty simple. Let's move on to the next one. Do exactly the same thing here:

4/10 = 6/x

60 = 4x

15 = x

That was pretty simple, too! Keep going!

6/15 = x/25

15x = 150

x = 10

All of these should be equal, so check them by dividing:

2/5 = 0.4

4/10 = 0.4

6/15 = 0.4

10/25 = 0.4

They all check out, so these are your answers: 2/5, 4/10, 6/15, 10/25


I really hope this helps you =)

Brainly is erroneously preventing my response from being posted due to nonexistent profanity or links. So, I have converted my answer into an image file, which I have attached. I also attached an annotated diagram of the figure in the image you posted. Please let me know if you have trouble accessing either. Hope this helps.
