Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the youngest child
Let x + 1 = the age of the middle child
Let x + 2 = the age of the oldest child
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 39
3x + 3 = 39
3x = 36
x = 12 years
For this case the first thing you should know is the following unit conversion:
1 yard = 3 feet
Applying the conversion we have:
6 * (1/3) = 2 yards
Therefore the number of skeins of yarn is:
N = (36) / (2)
N = 18
Answer:
You need 18 skeins of yarn
Local(L) = 1 x (15.99)
Online(O) = (1 x 13.99) + 6
So use that equation until you find the same number.
L1=15.99
O1=19.99
L2=31.98
O2=33.98
L3=47.97
O3=47.97
And your answer will be three from local and three from online.
