Answer:

Jack is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Luke : jack

3            2

We know like is 36

3*12 = 36, so we need to multiply by 12

Luke : jack

3*12     2*12

36          24

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation

Notice that Luke's real age is 12 times the number in the ratio, which is a simplified version of the original ratio, where they used division by 12 on both sides to get 3:2. Just do the opposite of division, which is multiplication, and multiply both sides of the ratio to get 36:24, which means that Jack is 24 years old!

Hope this helped you!

Which of the following is the correct answer??
Ahat [919]
The correct answer is C. 

When you have two fractions being divided, you can flip the second one and then multiply straight across. So in this case the top of your final answer would be the numerator of the first fraction multiplied by the denominator of the second:

(3x - 6)(2x - 1) = 6x^2 - 15x + 6

Then the bottom of your answer would be the denominator of the first fraction multiplied by the numerator of the second one:

x^3(x - 2) = x^4 - 2x^3

2/3x+5=7/3 <br> How do you solve this!
TEA [102]
You want to start by subtracting 5 from both sides to get 2/3x=-8/3 then cross multiply to get whole numbers which is 6=-24x then your gonna want to isolate the variable so divide both sides by -24 to get 6/-24=x then you can simplify to x=-1/4

The distributive property combines (blank) and (blank) to make multiplying whole numbers simpler.
emmasim [6.3K]
I am not too sure whether there were options, but one way to approach this is to fill it with "multiplication" and "addition" - the distributive property combines addition and multiplication to make multiplying whole numbers simpler. The gain is that you don't have to make one difficult multiplication, but a couple of simpler ones and then you can add them up.
