Ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age is 1 : 12 : 4

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the age of Alex

Let "g" be the age of George

Let "c" be the age of Carl

<em><u>Alex is 12 years older than George</u></em>

Therefore,

Age of Alex = 12 + Age of George

a = 12 + g

g = a - 12 ---- eqn 1

<em><u>Carl is Three times older than Alex</u></em>

Age of Carl = 3 x Age of Alex

c = 3a -------- eqn 2

<em><u>The sum of their ages is 68</u></em>

age of Alex + age of George + age of Carl = 68

a + g + c = 68 ----------- eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2 in eqn 3</u></em>

a + a - 12 + 3a = 68

5a - 12 = 68

5a = 12 + 68

5a = 80

a = 16

<em><u>Substitute a = 16 in eqn 2</u></em>

c = 3(16) = 48

c = 48

<em><u>Substitute a = 16 in eqn 1</u></em>

g = 16 - 12 = 4

g = 4

<em><u>Find the ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age</u></em>

Ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age = g : c : a

g : c : a = 4 : 48 : 16

Divide the above ratio by 4 to reduce to lowest terms

g : c : a - 1 : 12 : 4

Thus ratio of George’s age to Carl’s age to Alex’s age is 1 : 12 : 4

Answer:

H

Step-by-step explanation:

well it would be a proportion. so 5 cans per 3 days gives you 5/3. then for the next proportion. it would also be cans over days. so c / 7

5/3 = c/7

answer is H

The graphs of functions f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k are shown below:
Nataly [62]
Here's the info for f(x):  We are going to find the slope of the line and then write the equation for the line using one of the given points.  The coordinate points we are given are (0, 0) and (2, 4).  Using the slope formula:
m= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1}  }
gives us a slope equation of:
m= \frac{4-0}{2-0} and the slope is 2.  Using the point (0, 0) to write the equation of the line for f(x) looks like this in the slope-intercept form of the equation:
y- y_{1} =m(x- x_{1}) where m is the sloppe of 2 that we found and y_{1}  and  x_{1}  are the coordinates of one of the points.  It doesn't matter which one you choose; you will get the same answer whether you use (0, 0) or (2, 4): y-0=2(x-0)   Distributing that 2 into the parenthesis and simplifying gives you the equation of y = 2x, or in our function notation, f(x) = 2x.  Since f(x) is the first part of g(x), so far for g(x) we have that g(x) = 2x + k.  Now we will do the same thing for g(x) that we did for f(x) as far as writing its equation down; we don't need to find the slope cuz the slope of g(x) is the function f(x).  The equation for g(x), using the point (0, 2) (again, you could have used either point; I just picked (0, 2) cuz the other one has a decimal in it!): y - 2 = 2(x - 0).  Distributing that 2 into the parenthesis gives you this: y - 2 = 2x - 0; y = 2x + 2.  So 2 is your k value!

A stadium has a a central rectangular area 125m long by 80m wide.there are two semi circular ends.a running track goes all the w
Fudgin [204]

a)The total inside length of the curved ends of the track will be 25.13 meters

b)The total distance around the inside of the track will be 275.13 meters

c)The area inside the track is 10050 square meters.

<h3>What is an area?</h3>

The space occupied by any two-dimensional figure in a plane is called the area. The space occupied by the circle in a two-dimensional plane is called the area of the circle.

Given that:-

A stadium has a central rectangular area 125m long by 80m wide. there are two semi-circular ends. a running track goes all the way around.

a) what is the total inside length of the curved ends of the track?

The length of the curved track means it is a perimeter of the circle so the radius of the semicircle will be 4 meters.

So the length will be = π r + πr = 2 πr

                                  = 2 x π x 4 = 25.13

b) what is the total distance around the inside of the track?

The total distance of the track will be the sum of the length of the two semicircles and the longer side of the rectangle.

Total length = 125 + 125 + 25.13

                     = 275.13 meters

c) what is the area inside of the track?

The area will be equal to the area of the two semicircular tracks and the rectangular track.

Total Area = Area of semicircle + Area of semicircle + Area of rectangle

                  = ( π/2 ) r² + (π/2) r² + ( L x W )

                  =  π  r² + (  L x W)

                  = π ( 4 )² + ( 125 x 8 )

                  = 10050.26 square meters.

Therefore the total inside length of the curved ends of the track will be 25.13 meters. The total distance around the inside of the track will be 275.13 meters. The area inside the track is 10050 square meters.
