Let's begin by calling Sarah's age now as X. As Ralph is 3 times as old as Sarah, X times 3 = 3X. Hence, Ralph's age is 3X. In six years, Ralph will be twice as old as Sarah. To calculate six years from now, add 6 to X for Sarah, and 6 to 3X for Ralph. As Ralph is twice as old as Sarah and we want to find the difference between the ages to calculate X, multiply X+6 by 2. You'll get 2X+12. Therefore, 2X+12=3X+6. Deduct 6 from 3X+6 as we want to isolate the variable. Because you did that to one side, you have to deduct 6 from 2X+12. Hence, now you have 2X+6=3X. X=6. Ralph's age is 3X, so 6 times 3 is 18. Ralph is 18 years old.

pashok25 [27]

Answer

Mrs. Click's Garden is 6/5 or 1 1/5 square meters.

Explanation

Mrs. Click's has a rectangular garden. To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the width by the length. To find the area of Mrs. Click's Garden, you multiply 4/5 by 3/2.

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerator by the denominator.

4×3 is 12 and 5×2 is 10. You get the fraction 12/10, which can be simplified to 6/5, or 1 1/5.

A bag contains:
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

3/50

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 20 marbles in the bag

P(draw a black) = 6/20 = 3/10

If the black marble is replaced, then there are 20 marbles in the bag again.

P(draw a blue) = 4/20 = 1/5

P(draw a black and blue with replacement) = (3/10)(1/5) = 3/50
