Answer:

Tema = 26 years

Juma = 13 years

Abdul = 26 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their ages be represented as:

Tema = x

Juma = y

Abdul = z

From the question, we are told that:

Juma is twice as old as Abdul

y = 2z

z = y/2

= 0.5y

And Juma is a half times as old as Tema.

y = 1/2x

y = 0.5x

x = y/0.5

x = 2y

Hence,

x + y + z = 65

2y + y + 2y = 65

= 5y = 65

y = 65/5

y = 13 years

Since y = Zuma's age, Zuma is 13 years old

From the above question

Since 2y = z

y = 13

2 × 13 = z

z = 26

Since z = Abdul's age, Abdul is 26 years old

From the above question

x = 2y

y = 13 years

x = 2 × 13 years

x = 26 years.

Since x = Tema's age

Tema is 26 years.

Therefore, their present ages are:

Tema = 26 years

Juma = 13 years

Abdul = 26 years

The probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.

Spinner has three colors that are  red, green and yellow and coin has two sides that are  head or tail.

<h3>What is the formula for probability?</h3>

Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes

The sample space is,{(red - head; red - tail; green - head; green - tail; yellow - head; yellow - tail)}In total there are 6 ways to combine different colors with coin sides.

Therefore ,the probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.

A right triangle has legs of 5 ft and 6 ft. What is the length of the hypotenuse? _____ ft.
yarga [219]

Answer:

2.) 7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

5^2 + 6^2 = c^2

25+36 = c^2

61 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(61) = sqrt(c^2)

7.810249676 = c
