Riley's age = r
Riley's brother's age = r/4
If Riley was 11 five years ago, Riley is currently 11 + 5 years old, or 16 years old.
Now we just need to use r/4 to find Riley's brother's age:
16 /4 = 4
Riley's brother is 4 years old.
Hope this helps!
For this case we convert the mixed numbers to fractions:
Now we add the fractions:
We find the least common multiple of the denominators. The l.c.m is 8, then we divide by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator.
8,375
Thus, the punch recipe implies 8.375 gallons. If we convert to a mixed number we have:
gallons
Answer:
gallons
Answer:
LCD(8/
15
, 11/
30
, 3/
5
) = LCM(15, 30, 5) = 2×3×5 = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert 5 and 24/10 into a mixed fraction:
5 and 24/10 = 74/10
Now, divide 74/10 by 4:
74/10 ÷ 4 = 74/10 × 1/4
= 74/40
= 37/20
= 1 and 17/20
(Remember that dividing requires you to reciprocate 4)
Hope this helps!
