If you start with Malvin’s age, take half of it, increase that result by 5, then divide by 3, and finally double that, you get 8

Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Malvin's age be x.

  • x / 2
  • x / 2 + 5 = 5x / 10  [ By taking the L.C.M.]
  • ( 5x / 10 ) * ( 1 / 3 ) = 5x / 30   [ Multiply with the reciprocal of 3 ]
  • ( 5x / 30 ) * 2 = 5x / 15

Now let's solve the equation,

5x / 15 = 8

       5x = 8 * 15

       5x = 120

         x = 120 / 5

         x = 24

Therefore, Malvin is 24 years old.

Can the sides of a triangle be in the given ratio? 3:4:5
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if a triple of values will form a triangle, we must apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that for a triangle with lengths a, b, and c:

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

Here, let's suppose that since the ratio of the sides is 3 : 4 : 5, then let the actual side lengths be 3x, 4x, and 5x, where x is simply a real value.

With loss of generality, set a = 3x, b = 4x, and c = 5x. Plug these into the Triangle Inequality to check:

a + b > c  ⇒  3x + 4x  >?  5x  ⇒  7x > 5x  ⇒  This is true

a + c > b  ⇒  3x + 5x  >?  4x  ⇒  8x > 4x  ⇒  This is also true

b + c > a  ⇒  4x + 5x  >?  3x  ⇒  9x > 3x  ⇒  This is true

Since all three conditions are satisfied, we know that a true triangle can be formed given that the ratio of their sides is 3 : 4 : 5.

5. A hummingbird feeder holds 2/3 of a cup of hummingbird solution. A bottle of solution will fill the feeder 8 times. How much
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

1.26 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a hummingbird feeder holds \frac{2}{3} of a cup of hummingbird solution.

Again, a bottle of solution will fill the feeder 8 times.

Therefore, a bottle of solution will measure (\frac{2}{3}\times 8) = \frac{16}{3} = 5.33 cups of hummingbird solution.

Now, one cup is equivalent to 0.236588 liters.

So, 5.33 cups is equal to (0.236588 × 5.33) = 1.26 liters. (Answer)
