Answer:

13:16, 3:4, 5:8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the current ages of two students Dylan and Mike is 3:4.

Let their ages are 3x and 4x respectively.

If Dylan had been 6 years younger and Mike 6 years older, the age of Mike would have been 6 times the age of Dylan.

Hence, we can write, 6(3x - 6) = (4x + 6)

⇒ 18x - 4x = 36 + 6

⇒14x = 42

⇒ x = 3

Therefore, the current age of Dylan is 3×3 =9 years and that of Mike is 3×4 =12 years.

Therefore, the ratio of Dylan's current age to Mike's current age is 3:4. The ratio of their ages in four years ago will be (9-4):(12-4) =5:8

The ratio of their ages in four years from now will be (9+4):(12+4) =13:16

Hence, the ratios in descending order is 13:16, 3:4, 5:8.

Splashtown: 25 + 1x
Schlitterbahn: 40
25 + 1x = 40
-25 -25

x = 15
So after 15 rides, Schlitterbahn would be cheaper than Splashtown.

Answer:

figure skates will be $1 cheaper.

Explanation:

<u>given equation</u>:

  • to rent figure skates : f(x) = 1.50x + 2
  • to rent hockey skates : h(x) = 2x +1.5

<u>solve for rent of figure skates</u>:

f(x) = 1.50x + 2.00

f(3) = 1.50(3) + 2.00

f(3) = 6.5

<u>solve for rent of hockey skates</u>:

h(x) = 2x + 1.5

h(3) = 2(3) +1.5

h(3) = 7.5

<u>cheaper - figure skates than hockey skates</u>:

$7.5 - $6.5

$1
