Answer:

The eldest of them is Brian and he is 24 + 2 = 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Malachy age = a

Brian age = a + 2

Caroline age = a - 8

Total of their age = a + (a + 2) + (a - 8)

66 = a + (a + 2) + (a - 8)

collect like terms

66 = a + a + 2 + a - 8

66 = a + a + a - 6

3a = 66 + 6

3a = 72

divide both sides by 3

a = 72/3

a = 24

Malachy age is 24 . Caroline is 24 - 8 = 16 years old.

The eldest of them is Brian and he is 24 + 2 = 26 years old.

pochemuha

ok so divide 1500 by 250 to determine how many boxes you need to by in 1 year

so that equals 6 then you multiply that by $30 to find the total cost of all the diapers per year so the is $180 per year and then multiply that by 3 to find the cost of all 3 years

So the answer is you will spend $540 in total

Maria will spin the arrow on the spinner 3 times.
Anna35 [415]
Well if those are the only 3 options of a segment, then there is a 1/3 chance of landing on A, then a 1/3 chance of landing on B, then a 1/3 chance of landing on C. Multiply the fractions together to get 1/27. However that isn't one of your answers. I'm thinking that the spinner has 4 sections, meaning 1/4 chance of A, then 1/4 chance of B, then 1/4 chance of C. Multiply these together to get 1/64, which is one of your answers. That's my input anyway
