Question

Devin is 1 and 1/4 years younger than Eli April is 1/5 as old as Devin Jill is 5 years older than April if Eli is e years old, what is Jill's age in terms of e

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{4e-5}{20}+5$

Step by step explanation:

We have been given that Eli is e years old.

Devin is 1 1/4 younger than Eli, therefore, Devin's age in terms of E will be:

$\text{Devin's age in terms of e}=e-1\frac{1}{4}$

$\text{Devin's age in terms of e}=e-\frac{5}{4}$

We are also given that April is 1/5 as old as Devin. So April's age will be,

$\text{April's age in terms of e}=\frac{e-\frac{5}{4}}{5}$

Upon simplifying our expression we will get,

$\text{April's age in terms of e}=\frac{\frac{4e-5}{4}}{5}$

$\text{April's age in terms of e}=\frac{4e-5}{5*4}$

$\text{April's age in terms of e}=\frac{4e-5}{20}$

Now let us write Jill's age in terms of E.

We are told that Jill is 5 years older than April. So Jill's age will be,

$\text{Jill's age in terms of e}=\frac{4e-5}{20}+5$

Therefore, Jill's age in terms of E will be $\frac{4e-5}{20}+5$.
