6 0

Answer:

24 blue cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion to solve this...

40/5 = x/3      (forty red cars is to five red cars as 'x' number of blue cars is to 3 blue cars)

Now solve by cross multiplying...

120 = 5x

    24 = x

Hannah is 2 times her sister’s age. The sum of their ages is no more than 18 years. 1) Write an inequality that can be used to r
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

1) x+2x\leq 18.

2) 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Hanna's sister be x years old.


Then Hanna will be 2x years old.


The sum of their ages will be x+2x years.

The statement "no more than 18" means the sum of their ages is less than or equal to 18.

The required inequality is;

x+2x\leq 18.

2)

The inequality we just found is


x+2x\leq18.

We simplify to get;

3x\leq 18.

we divide both sides by 3 to get;

x\leq 6.

Therefore the oldest age Hannah's sister can be is 6 years
