The mother is older than her daughter by \frac{3}{4}m years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother is m years old, and she is four times as old as her daughter.

we need to find how much older the mother is than her daughter

  • Put the age of mother equal 4 times the age of daughter
  • Find the age of daughter
  • Subtract the age of daughter from the age of mother to find how much older the mother than her daughter

∵ The mother's age = m

∵ Her age is four times as old as her daughter

∴ m = 4 × daughter's age

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ \frac{1}{4}m = daughter's age

- Subtract the daughter's age from her mother's age

∵ The difference of their ages = m - \frac{1}{4}m

- Change 1 m to a fraction of denominator 4, then 1 m = \frac{4}{4}m

∴ The difference between their ages = \frac{4}{4}m - \frac{1}{4}m = \frac{3}{4}m

∴ The mother is older than her daughter by \frac{3}{4}m years

The mother is older than her daughter by \frac{3}{4}m years

Solve for x ax+3b=2f
Paladinen [302]

You said                                  ax + 3b = 2f

Subtract  3b  from each side:  ax         = 2f - 3b

Divide each side by 'a' :             x        = (2f - 3b) / a

This is the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle

2) Density=mass/volume
The “Quotient” is the answer to a division problem (like how the “sum” is the answer to an addition problem) which is why we know to divide mass and volume

3) Force = mass*acceleration
The “product” is the answer to a multiplication problem which is why we know to multiply mass and acceleration

4) surface area = 6*L^2
The formula used to calculate the area of a square is L^2. The problem tells us that surface area is the sum of all the faces of a 3D shape. Because there are 6 sides on a cube, we multiply L^2 by 6.

Hope this helps!
