To solve this problem you first need to establish what it is you are looking for.. if you knew the grandson age then you could find your son and you.  So that is what we need to find and since we don't know it, we will call it x.

Grandson = x
Son = 7x
You = 12x

Then it says the sum of the 3 is 100.... x + 7x + 12x = 100 then solve and find that x = 5.  So to determine your age, just put 5 in for x and you get 60... dang your old ha

Jed wants to earn 25% annual net income on his $50,000 cash investment in property his annual expense of owning the property are
Elena L [17]

Answer: $1,842

Step-by-step explanation:

John wants to earn 25% of his investment of $50,000 which is:

= 25% * 50,000

= $12,500

He has expenses of $9,600 yearly so the rent he should charge per year in order to make his 25% requirement as income is:

= Expenses + Return

= 9,600 + 12,500

= $22,100

Rent per month is:

= 22,100 / 12

= $1,842

Frank can build a fence in twice the time it would take Sandy. Working together, they can build it in 7 hours. How long will it take each of them to do it alone?

Answer

If Frank and Sandy can build the fence in 7 hours, they must be building

1

7

of the fence every hour.

Now, let the amount of time it takes Sandy be

x

hours so that Frank takes

2

x

hours. Sandy can build

1

x

of the fence every hour and Frank can build

1

2

x

of the fence every hour.

We now have the following equation to solve.

1

x

+

1

2

x

=

x

=

x

=

2

=

10.50

Thus, Sandy takes

10.50

hours and Frank takes

21

hours.

Answer:

1, 2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 4 1/12·2 2/3 = 49/12·11/4 = 49/12·33/12 = 1617/144 = 11 11/48 Good
  2. 2 1/5·6 1/4 = 11/5·25/4 = 44/20·125/20 = 5500/400 = 13 3/4 Good
  3. 1 1/2·3 1/5 = 3/2·16/5 = 15/10·32/10 = 480/100 = 4.8 Doesn't Work
  4. 3/4·8 1/5 = 3/4·41/5 = 15/20·164/20 = 2460/400 = 6 3/20 Good
  5. 5 1/2·5 = 11/2·5 = 55/2 = 27 1/2 Doesn't Work

(Note: Division of big numbers should be done by simplification, although not shown here.)

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Binomial; \mu p=87.5, \sigma p=7.542

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a distribution is said be a binomial distribution iff
  1. The probability of success of that event( let it be p) is same for every trial
  2. each trial should have 2 outcome : p or (1-p) i.e, success or failure only.
  3. there are fixed number of trials (n)
  4. the trials are independent
  • here, the trials are obviously independent ( because, one person's debt doesn't influence the other person's)
  • here n=250
  • the probability of success(0.35) is same for every trial

(35/100=0.35 is the required p here)

  • \mu_{p} =n*p=250*\frac{35}{100} =250*0.35=87.5

[since, the formula for \mu _{p} =n*p ]

  • \sigma _{p} =\sqrt{n*(p)*(1-p)} = \sqrt{250*0.35*(1-0.35)} = 7.542 ( approximately)

[since, the formula for [tex]\sigma _{p} =\sqrt{n*(p)*(1-p)}

  • therefore, it is Binomial; \mu p=87.5, \sigma p=7.542
