I would start by setting up a chart like I did below.

Label one column age now and the other age in 5 years.

Since we don't know the son's age we use x.

We do know that the man's age is 4 times the son's age.

So the man's age will be 4x.

In the age in 5 year column, we add 5 to their current ages.

Now set up our equation.

Since it says "in five years" we use information in second column.

In 5 years time, he, "4x + 5", will be, equals,

3 times as old as his son, "3(x + 5)".

So we have 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5).

Solving from here, we find that x = 10.

So the son is 10 and the man is 4 times his age or 40.

Carlos jogged 5 laps around the school track in 8 minutes. What was his average speed in laps per minute? lap(s) per minute PLEA
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

To solve this problem, you would create two ratios and make them equal to each other, both representing laps:minute or laps/minute! With that being said, laps will be in the numerator, or on top, and minutes will be in the denominator, or the bottom! The first ratio, which we know from the problem, will be 5/8. In order to write the second ratio, we need to come up with something to put in place for what we're solving for. I like to use x. So, we need to find how many laps (x) are run in 1 minute. Remember, laps are on top and minutes are on the bottom. The second ratio would look like x/1. Then we make them equal to each other -> 5/8=x/1. You would then solve this equation by multiplying the right side of the equation by the reciprocal of the denominator! So, it would be 1/1(5/8)=x. Because then multiple the numerators and the denominators -> 1(5)=5 and 1(8)=8! This makes the equation turn into x=5/8! Because x equals the number of laps run in one minute, we can say that Ricky ran 5/8 of a lap in one minute or 0.625 laps in one minute!
