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>

Andy used 1/6 of a can of paint to cover 1/2 of a wall. how much of the can of paint did Andy use to paint the whole wall.

olasank [31]

1/6 = 1/2 of the wall

2/6 = 2/2 = 1 whole wall

2/6 = 1/3 (transforming it into simplest form)

Therefore, 1/3 of the can of paint can he used to paint the whole wall.

Hope this helps.

The height in feet above the water of a diver can be modeled by ℎ() = −16*2 − 16 + 192, where t is the time in seconds after the

Maurinko [17]

h(t) is the height of the diver in feet above the water

Now it asks about the time at which diver reaches the water

When diver reaches the water , the height of diver from water should be zero

So we plug h(t) =0

$-16t^2 -16 t +192 =0$

divide whole equation by -16

$t^2 +t -12 =0$

we can now factor the quadratic equation

So we get

(t+4)(t-3) =0

plug each factor equal to zero and solve for t

t+4 =0 and t-3 =0

So t=-4 and t=3

Now time cannot be negative , So t=3

So time = 3 seconds

It takes 3 seconds for the diver to reach the water

Difference between mutually exclusive

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

A mutually exclusive event is when there are two events that can occur, such as flipping a coin, either it will be a head or a tail. Hence, both the events here are mutually exclusive.

An independent event is termed as an event that occurs without being affected by other events. The happening of one event has nothing to do with the happening of the other and there is no cause-effect between the two.
