x   -  Ram's age now

Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:

2x  - Ram's father age now

x - 10   -  Ram's age ten years ago

2x - 10    - Ram's father age ten years ago

ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:

2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)

2x - 10 = 3x - 30

-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x

20 = x

2x = 2•20 = 40

Answer:

<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>

A population of 400 beetles grows by 5% each week. How can the beetle population be determined after a number of weeks, w?
Helga [31]
For this case we have an equation of the form:
 f (w) = A * (b) ^ w
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate
 w: number of weeks
 Substituting values we have:
 f (w) = 400 * (1.05) ^ w
 Answer:
 the beetle population can be determined after a number of weeks, w, with the following function:
 
f (w) = 400 * (1.05) ^ w

1.)Painting Jane is painting one wall of her living room. The wall is rectangular, 13 feet wide by 9 feet high. What is the area
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

1. 117 ft^{2}

2. 54 ft^{2}

3. 1,428 ft^{2}

4. 644 ft^{2}

5. 4,700 ft^{2}

6. 57,600 ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First use A = w*l

w = width

l = length

It doesn't have to be A = w*l, it could be A = l*w.   It will be the same answer.

1.  3 ft * 9 ft = 117 ft^{2}

2. 3 ft * 18 ft = 54 ft^{2}

3. 42 ft * 34 ft = 1,428 ft^{2}

4. 23 ft * 28 ft = 644 ft^{2}

5. 94 ft * 50 ft = 4,700 ft^{2}

6. 360 ft*160 ft = 57,600 ft^{2}

What percent of 1/4 is 2/3 and what percent of 1/6 is 2/3 ?
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The percentages are 267% and 400% respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answers of these, you need to divide the second number by the first. This will give you the percentage.

2/3 ÷ 1/4 = 8/3 = 2.67 = 267%

You can do the same for the second one.

2/3 ÷ 1/6 = 12/3 = 4 = 400%
