Hello there!

Your questions states: <span>The ratio of the ages of two children is 2:3. If the younger child is 4 years old, how old is the other child?

We know when child A is 2, child B is 3.

To make child A 4, we must multiply his age by 2.

Now we must multiply child B's age by 2, as what you to one side, you must do to the other.

2 * 3 = 6

When child a (the younger child) is 4, child b is 6.


Hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!

So if the ratio is 2:3, then the younger child would represent the 2. so it would be 2:3 is 4:x. Thereby, the answer would be 6, because of proportions. To check, simplify 4:6, and you would get 2:3.

You are driving along the coast at 45 mph. How many minutes should it take you to get to Ventura?

45 miles per hour is 3/4 mile per minute. Divide 4.8 by 0.75.

Solve for x.

The answer is 370 because you need to work it out.

Basically what I did was look at the first number, 12, and the answer to the equation and saw that 12 x 10 would be 120. And 360 + 10 would be 370.

It fits in perfectly.

12(370 - 360) = 120
370 - 360 = 10
12(10) = 120

So x = 370

Answer:

27 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of the cube is 54 ft^2.

A cube has 6 congruent square sides.

54 ft^2/5 = 9 ft^2

Each square side has area 9 ft^2.

The area of a square is the square of the side, so the side of a square is the square root of the area.

side = sqrt(9 ft)^2 = 3 ft

The volume of a cube is the cube of the side.

volume = (3 ft)^3

volume = 27 ft^3
