Let's have Steve's age be x, and his father's age be f
Then, we can set up equations
Steve is one-fourth as old as his father goes to an equation as x=(1/4)f
In five years (x+5), Steve will be one-third as old as his father will be (f+5). This goes to an equation as x+5=(1/3)(f+5)
We can then solve the first equation for either variable (I will be doing f), and plug it in for a system of equations.

x=(1/4)f
4x=f ← plug that in for f in the next equation

x+5 = (1/3)(4x+5) ← Solve this for x
3(x+5)=4x+5
3x+15=4x+5
3x+10=4x
10=1x
x=10

Therefore, Steve's age is 10. His father's age is f=4x, plug in 10 for x, and his father's age is 40

Answer:

Scale factor = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation with scale factor to map HEFG to DABC will be,

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Dimension of Image DABC}}{\text{Dimension of preimage HEFG}}$

= $\frac{\text{Length of CD}}{\text{Length of GH}}$

Length of CD = Distance between two points C(0, -7) and D(-7, 0)

= $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(-7-0)^2+(0+7)^2}$

= $\sqrt{98}$

= $7\sqrt{2}$

Length of GH = Distance between G(0, -1) and H(-1, 0)

= $\sqrt{(-1-0)^2+(0+1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{2}$

Scale factor = $\frac{7\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} }$

= 7

It takes a hose 2 minutes to fill a rectangular aquarium 12 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. How long will it ta

rusak2 [61]

Volume of the first aquarium = (12" x 13" x 14") = 2,184 inches³

Volume of the second aquarium = (32" x 34" x 35") = 38,080 inches³

The second aquarium has (38,080 / 2,184) = 17.44 times as much
volume as the first aquarium has.

So it'll take the hose 17.44 times as long to fill the second one

= (17.44) x (2 minutes) = 34.9 minutes.
