Possible Ages      Sum of The Ages 1  2  36                      391  4  18                      231  8  9                        181  3  24                      282  3  12                      172  4  9                        152  6  6                        142  2  18                      223  3  8                        143  4  6                        13

The sum has to be 14. So it can be 2, 6, and 6 or 3, 3, and 8.
But it cannot be 3, 3, and 8 because the youngest cannot be a twin.

So it is 2, 6, and 6.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of tennis balls

y ----> number of tennis rackets

we know that

To find out the ratio of tennis balls to tennis rackets, divide the number of tennis ball by the number of tennis rackets

In this problem we have

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{3}

so

x=\frac{5}{3}y

That means

The number of tennis balls is three-fifths times the number of tennis rackets

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Find the radius of a circle whose circumference is 31.4 centimeters. Approximate Π as 3.14.
AnnyKZ [126]
Circumference is Diameter * 3.14

so D * 3.14 = 31.4

31.4 / 3.14 = 10 so the diameter is 10.

the radius is half of the diameter so radius = 5 centimeters.
