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.

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole
Fed [463]

Answer:

40 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the outdoor carpet can be decomposed into 2 triangles and 1 rectangle

✔️Area of triangle 1:

Area = ½*bh

b = 6 - 3 = 3 ft

h = 11 - 7 = 4 ft

Area of triangle 1 = ½*3*4 = 6 ft²

✔️Area of triangle 2:

Area = ½*by

b = 2 ft

h = 3 ft

Area of triangle 2 = ½*2*3 = 3 ft

✔️Area of rectangle = L × W

L = 11 ft

W = 3 ft

Area of rectangle = 11 × 3 = 33 ft

✅area of outdoor carpet = 4 + 3 + 33 = 40 ft²
