Hello Kiddo.
This question is a bit confusing to me, but I think I grasped the concept.
1. x best represents Sarah's mom's age.
2. x - 24 best represents Sarah's mom's age minus how much younger Sarah is than her mom.
3. The expression would look a little like this:
2x-24 = 68
+ 24 +24
2x = 92
/2 /2
x = 46.
Which means, Sarah is 22 and her mom is 46 years of age.
If you need more clarification, I'd be more than happy to elaborate further.
Answer:
The volume of gallons used by Silvio = 
gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Total volume of milk = 
= 
amount used by Silvio = 
of total volume
This means that if the total volume of milk were divided into four parts, Silvio takes 3 out of 4 parts, and this is converted to volume as follows:
∴ amount used by Silvio = × = 
= gallons
3.16x10^3
3.16x(10x10x10)
3160
