Answer:
60 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Sarah's age = a
Assume Sarah is older than 44 ; then a > 44
64 = 4 times difference between a and 44
Expressing the problem mathematically ;
64 = 4 * (a - 44)
64 = 4a - 176
64 + 176 = 4a
240 = 4a
a = 240 / 4
a = 60
Hence, Sarah is aged 60
Inverse variation means y=k/x (direct variation is y=kx) so we can use the info given to find the constant k
y=k/x
6=k/900
k=6(900)
k=5400 so the equation is:
y=5400/x or more accurately for this problem
t(v)=5400/v then:
t(800)=5400/800
t(800)=6.75 hours
Answer:
<h2>She gave her brother 6 tickets</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is on fractional numbers.
given that she has 60 tickets
1.She used 3/4 of her tickets to play game
=(3/4)*60
=180/4
=45
She is left with (60-45)= 15 tickets
2. She used 1/5 of her remaining tickets for rides
=(1/5)*15
=15/5
=3
She is left with (15-3)= 12 tickets
3. She gave half of her tickets to her brother.
= (1/2)*12
=12/2
= 6
She gave her brother 6 tickets
16 - x = 4
16 - 12 = 4
x = 12
