Answer:  The required age of Simran is 15 years and her father is 45 years.  

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that right now, Simran's father is three times as old as Simran and five years ago, he was four times as  old as Simran.

We are to find the present ages of Simran and her father.

Let x and y represents the present ages of Simran and her father respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

y=3x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y-5=4(x-4)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting the value of y from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

y-5=4(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow 3x-5=4x-20\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3x=20-5\\\\\Rightarrow x=15.

From equation (i), we get

y=3\times15=45.

Thus, the required age of Simran is 15 years and her father is 45 years.

Hello,

Let's f the age of the father
s the age of Simran

f=3*s

Some girls in a Girl Scout troop are pairing up with some boys in a Boy Scout troop to practice square dancing. Two-thirds of th
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Fraction of the scouts are square dancing is \frac{19}{30}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pair  is one Girl Scout and one Boy Scout.

So,  to  the final fraction ( of the pairs) we are going to get 1/2 from the fraction of girls and 1/2 from the fraction of boys.  

Girls= \frac{2}{3} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2}{6}

Boys= \frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{2} =\frac{3}{10}

To get the fraction of the scouts that are square dancing,  we have to add the fraction of girls ,  with the fraction of boys.  

=\frac{2}{6} +\frac{3}{10}

=\frac{(2*10) +(6*3)}{6*10} =\\ \frac{20+18}{60}

=\frac{38}{60}

=\frac{19}{30}

This means that  from 30 scouts ,  19 are dancing.

1. Write the interval shown on the number line
shusha [124]

Answer:

x\geq 5

\{x\  |\  x \geq 5\}   OR {5, 6, 7, 8, .....}

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have a look at the interval shown on the number line and try to understand it properly.

The number line shows positive numbers starting from 3 that means numbers indicated will be positive numbers.

The number highlighted starts from 5 and there is filled circle at 5.

So, 5 is included in the interval.

The arrow is from 5 towards 8 and so on..

That means Numbers greater than or equal to 5 are represented by the interval.

So, writing as an inequality

Let x represents one of the numbers.

Hence, inequality can be written as:

x\geq 5

Using the set notation:

\{x\  |\  x \geq 5\}

OR

{5, 6, 7, 8, .....}
