Answer:

Gary is now 24years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Jan be x and that of Gary be x+15

in six years time they will be as follows

Jan =x+6

Gary=x+15+6=x+21

2(x+6)=x+21

2x+12=x+21

collect the like terms

2x-x=21-12

x=9

Gary =9+15=24years

Can someone help with this math word problem.

iragen [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to eat the pizza in seconds =28×60=1680 seconds

If it takes 20seconds to lift, bite and chew,

Then the total bites taken to finish the pizza =1680/20 =84 bites

If for each bite 9cm² disappeared, then area that disappeared for 84bites =84×9cm² = 756cm²

Total area of pizza =756cm²

If area =(πd²)/4,

Then d² =(4×A)/π

d²=4×756/3.14=963.06

d=√963.06 = 31.03cm

1 centimeter=0.394inches

31.03cm= 0.394×31.03=12.23 inches ≈ 12inches(to the nearest inch)

The diameter of the pizza is 12inches
