Mathematics
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Sally is 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Sally's age by x and Sam's by  y.

Then x = 3y and x + y = 84.

Substituting 3y for x in the second equation, we get:

3y + y = 84, or 4y = 84, or y = 21.  Since Sally is 3 times as old as Sam, we multiply 21 by 3:  Sally's age is 3(21 years) = 63 years

Jack said that if you take a number and multiply it by a fraction, the product will always be smaller than what you started with
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Is not correct. The product not always will be smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction could increase a number if you multiply it.  

If the numerator is higher to the  denominator,  it will increase it.  

If the numerator is smaller to the  denominator,  it will decrease it.

<u>For example,</u>

10 x 4/3

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

10×4/1×3=40/3= 13,33

13,33 is higher than 10.

5 x 10/3

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

5×10/1×3=50/3

16,66 is higher than 5.
