Let Mary's age be x.

Paul is three times as old as Mary, so Paul's age would be 3x.

Peter is four times as old as Mary, so Peter's age would be 4x.

The sum of their ages is 64
⇒ Paul's age+ Peter's age+ Mary's age= 64
⇒ 3x+ 4x+ x= 64
⇒ 8x= 64
⇒ x= 64/8
⇒ x= 8

Paul's age is: 3x= 3*8= 24

Peter's age is: 4x= 4*8= 32

Final answer: Paul is 24 years old.
Peter is 32 years old.
Mary is 8 years old.

Hope this helps~

daser333 [38]

Answer:

28.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

3 percent of 52 is 1.56 so it is melting at a rate of 1.56 inches per minute

15x1.56 is 23.4

52-23.4=28.6 so after 15 minutes the sculpture will be only 28.6 inches tall

A right prism has a volume of 65 cubic inches. The prism is enlarged so its height is increased by a factor of 20, but the other
Helga [31]

Answer:

Volume of a right prism = 65 cubic inches

Its height is increased by a factor of 20.

To find:

The new volume of the prism if the other dimensions do not change.

Solution:

The volume of a prism is:

Volume=Bh

Where, B is the base area and h is the height.

A right prism has a volume of 65 cubic inches.

65=Bh

The height of prism is increased by a factor of 20. So, the new volume is:

Volume=B(20h)

Volume=20(Bh)

Volume=20(65)

Volume=1300

The volume of the new prism is 1300 in³.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
