Answer:

George is 18 and his brother is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the brother's age be n then George's age is 3n ( 3 times his brother's age )

n + 3n = 24 ( sum of their ages )

4n = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 6

and 3n = 3 × 6 = 18

George is 18 years old and his brother is 6 years old.

Answer:

G=18

Step-by-step explanation:

George-G

1/3G+G=24

4/3G=24

3/4*4/3G=24*3/4

G=18

George will be 18 years old there we can find his brothers age by dividing it by three thus 18/3=6

Why is 0.71875 a rational number
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Because it is terminating.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.71875 is rational because it is terminating (has a clear end). If it were a bunch of random numbers that never ended, then it would be irrational.

Use the given information to determine if the geometric series converges or
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

c) The series diverges. There is no sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric series is a series of the form:

S = \Sigma_{i=0}^{n} a\cdot r^{i}, \forall i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

Where:

a - First term of the series, dimensionless.

r - Common ratio, dimensionless.

A geometric series converges only if |r| < 1. As r > 1, the geometric series diverges. Hence, the right answer is C.

How do I do this?<br> 4/5x&gt;14
Likurg_2 [28]

Well, first, you need to know what you want to 'do' to it.

You want to find the description of what 'x' has to be in order to
make that inequality a true statement.  Here's one way to do it:

                                              4/5 x > 14

Multiply each side by  5 :     4    x  >  70

Divide each side by  4 :             x  >  17.5 .

That's it.  As long as 'x' is more than 17.5 ,
the original inequality is true.
