the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}$

2 years more than half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}+2$

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23$

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23$

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14$

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = $\frac{14}{2}+2$

= 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

Polly buys 14 cupcakes for a party. The bakery puts them into boxes that hold 4 cupcakes each.

Temka [501]

Answer:

Part a) The number of boxes needed will be 4

part b) The fraction of the box that is empty is $\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many boxes will be needed for Polly to bring all the cupcakes to the party?

To find out the number of boxes needed, divide the total number of cupcakes by 4 (maximum number of cupcakes that fit in each box).

so

$\frac{14}{4}=3.5\ box$

Round up

The number of boxes needed will be 4

Part b) If the bakery completely fills as many boxes as possible, what fraction of the last box is empty?

we know that

The maximum number of cupcakes per box is 4

The first three boxes have 4 cupcakes

The last box has

$14-3(4)=2\ cupcakes$

The fraction of the box that is empty is equal to the number of cupcakes missing to fill the box divided by the cupcake capacity of the box

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) How many more cupcakes are needed to fill this box

Subtract the number of cupcakes in the box from the cupcake capacity of the box

The last box has 2 cupcakes

The cupcake capacity of the box is 4

so

$4-2=2\ cupcakes$

therefore

Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

I need help with question 30..

Aloiza [94]

Let's say 1000 dollars was spent on all of these. That would mean 170 dollars and 240 were spent on food and entertainment respectivly. If we want to see how much of the total cost was spent on these things, we would have to add them and divide them by 1000, so:

$\frac{170+240}{1000}=\frac{410}{1000}=frac{41}{100}$
