Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
[tex]4 - (x + 20 ) = 16
x=0
2x-3 = 9-4x
2x+4x = 9+3
6x = 12
x=2
Answer: 1406.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The soccer field at a park is 9,000 square yards. The soccer field takes up 6 2/5 square inches on the map of the park. How many square yards does 1 square inch on the map represent? Show your work. Help me pls
Given that:
Area of soccer field = 9000 sq yards
Soccer field takes up 6 2/5 square inches on the map of park
Hence,
9000 yd² = 6 2/5 in²
Let 1 in² on map = m
9000 yd² = 32/5 in² - - - (1)
m = 1 in² - - - (2)
Cross multiply ;
6.4 * m = 9000
m = 9000/6.4
m = 1406.25
Hence,
1 in² on map = 1406.25 feet²
900
