2+4+5 is 11 and 33/11 is 3 so for every 1 is 3 years,
 the first is 2 so is 2x3=6
the second is 4 so is 4x3=12
the third is 5 so is 5x3=15

You could also write it as:
1st child's age:= 2x
2nd child:= 4x
3rd child:= 5x
2x+4x+5x=33
11x=33
x=3
Then
1st child's age:= 2x= 6
2nd child:= 4x= 12
<span>3rd child:= 5x= 15
</span>To check if it's correct you need to sum up: 6+12+15=33

Kawai requires a loan of $33,000 to buy a used sport utility vehicle. His banks offers financing at 6.75% compounded monthly, fo
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$49,126.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal= $33,000

rate= 6.75%

Time= 6 years

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 6.65/100

r = 0.0665 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 33,000.00(1 + 0.0665/12)^(12)(6)

A = 33,000.00(1 + 0.005541667)^(72)

A = $49,126.87

Hence the final amount is  $49,126.87

Show how the perfect numbers 6 and 28 were generated. Show the aliquot parts of 6 and 28
Mashutka [201]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfect number is the positive integer which is equal to sum of proper divisors of the number.

Aliquot part is also called as proper divisor which means any divisor of the number which isn't equal to number itself.

<u>Number : 6 </u>

Perfect divisors / Aliquot part = 1, 2, 3

Sum of the divisors = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

Thus, 6 is a perfect number.

<u>Number : 28</u>

Perfect divisors / Aliquot part = 1, 2, 4, 7, 14

Sum of the divisors = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28

Thus, 28 is a perfect number.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

a) 6 ways

b) 6 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) for all of the letters

for the first letter, we have 3 options

for the second, we have 2 options

for the third, we have 1 option

So the number of options will be;

3 * 2 * 1 = 6

b) for the first, we have 3 options, for the second, we have 2 options

so the number of options will be 3 * 2 = 6 options
