The ratio of length to width is 3/2. Let's set up equations of ratios using first the 25 cm length of the paper and then the 20 cm width:
3 25 cm
--- = ----------
2 x
Solving for x, 3x = 50 cm, and x =16 2/3 cm. This is possible, since 16 2/3 is less than the paper width 20 cm.
3 20 cm
--- = -----------
2 x
Solving for x: 3x = 40 cm; x = 40/3 cm, or x= 13 1/3 cm. This is possible, but does not make maximum use of the 20 by 30 cm paper.
Answer: the largest flag Jake can draw on the paper given is 20 cm (length) by 16 2/3 cm.
Solution:
The total number of possiblities rolling a number cube with faces numbered 1 to 6 is;
And the total number of possibilities spining the spinner is;
The number of possibility where outcome on the cube is greater than 2 is;
And the number on the spinner less than 9 is;
Hence, the unique combination is;
CORRECT OPTION: A
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years
Then, my age was 3x
Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years
And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years
But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.
So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)
or, x= 5 years
So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years
And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years
