Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
Answer:
Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of books checked out = 52
Number of fiction books checked out = 24
So, number of non fiction books = Total books - number of fiction books
Or, number of non fiction = 52 - 24 = 28 books
Now, ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 28 : 24
Solving the ratio term in its lowest form, we get
The Ratio of Non Fiction : Fiction books = 7 : 6
.67%
hope this helps.
