Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to make a specific shade of green paint, a painter mixes 1 1/2 quarts of blue paint. Converting 1.5 quarts to cup,
1 quart = 4 cups
1.5 quarts = 1.5 × 4 = 6 cups
She also used 1/2 gallon of white paint. Converting 0.5 gallons to cup,
0.0625 gallons = 1 cup
0.5 gallons = 0.5/0.0625 = 8 cups
This means that the ratio of cups of blue paint to green paint to white paint is 6: 2 :8
Total ratio = 6 +2 + 8 = 16
To make 100 cups of this shade of green,
Cups of blue paint needed = 6/16 × 100 = 37.5 cups
Cups of green paint needed = 2/16 × 100 = 12.5 cups
Cups of white paint needed = 8/16 × 100 = 50 cups
Biannual and semiannual can be used interchangeably; they both mean “twice a year<span>.” But biennial describes something that occurs every two </span>years<span>.

Answer:
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Dally's age = x
Dilly's age = x - 7
In 4 years time Dilly will be half Dally’s age, therefore:
Dilly's age plus four equals to half of Dally’s age plus four,
replacing with the values and variables we know:
x - 7 + 4 = (x + 4) /2
x - 3 = (x + 4) /2
2x - 6 = x + 4 (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)
2x - x = 4 + 6 (Like terms)
x = 10 ⇒ x - 7 = 3
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13 (10 + 3)</u>
