The question does not seem complete, but I'll represent the statement mathematically and look for their ages each. This is because the worst they can ask for is their ages.
Let C stand for Courtney's age, A for Andrei's age, N for Natalie's age and S for Shari's age. From the question we can deduce the following:
C = 2A
C = N + 3
C = S/2
S - N = C + A
S = 2C, N = C - 3 and A = C/2, therefore we have
2C - (C - 3) = C + C/2
C + 3 = C + C/2
C/2 = 3 and C = 6
A = C/2
A= 6/2
A = 3
N = C - 3
N = 6 - 3
N = 3
S = 2C
S = 2 x 6
S = 12.
C = 6, A = 3, N = 3 and S = 12
Answer:
<h2>36.14 pounds of 34% copper alloy and 9.86 pounds of 48% copper alloy</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
First alloy contains 34% copper and the second alloy contains 48% alloy.
We wish to make 46 pounds of a third alloy containing 37% copper.
Let the weight of first alloy used be
in pounds and the weight of second alloy used be
in pounds.
Total weight =

Total weight of copper = 

Subtracting 34 times first equation from second equation,

∴ 36.14 pounds of first alloy and 9.86 pounds of second alloy were used.
