Answer:

5 years ago

Let Kelly's age be x

Jake's age is 4x

5 years later

Kelly's age is x + 5

Jake's age is 4x+5

The sum of both their ages is 60. The equation will be

x + 5 + 4x + 5 = 60

5x + 10 = 60

5x = 60 - 10

x = 50/5 = 10

So Kelly is (10 + 5) 15 years old.

Jake is (4*10 + 5) = 45 years old

Mama L [17]

Answer: 7693cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given as:

= 1/3πr²h

where π = 3.14

radius = 3.5cm

height = 12

Volume = 1/3πr²h

= 1/3 × 3.14 × 3.5² × 12

= 153.86cm³

Therefore, the amount of water that is needed to fill 50 cups will be:

= 153.86 × 50

= 7693cm
