Kevin is 4 times as old as Daniel and is also 6 years older than Daniel

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Part a) Daniel's age is 2 years

Part b) Kevin's age is 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Part a) How old is Daniel?

Part b) How old is Kevin?

Let

x ----> Kevin's age

y ----> Daniel's age

we know that

$x=4y$ -----> equation A

$x=y+6$ ----> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B

$4y=y+6$

solve for y

$4y-y=6$

$3y=6$

$y=2$

therefore

Daniel's age is 2 years

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in any of the two equations

$x=4(2)=8\ years$

$x=2+6=8\ years$

therefore

Kevin's age is 8 years

You have quarters and dimes that total $2.80. your friends says its possible that the number of quarters is 8 more than the numb

Sidana [21]

$\text{Let the number of dimes be x, then as per the friend the number of }\\
\text{quarters should be 8 more than dimes, so number of quarters}=x+8\\
\\
\text{we know that the value of 1 dime is }\$ 0.10 \text{ value of one quarter is }\$0.25\\
\\
\text{And since the total value of quarters and dimes is }\$2.80, \text{ so we have}\\
\\
0.10(x)+0.25(x+8)=2.80\\
\\
\Rightarrow 0.10x+0.25x+2=2.80\\
\\
\Rightarrow 0.35x=2.80-2\\
\\
\Rightarrow 0.35x=0.80$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{0.80}{0.35}=2.29\\
\\
\text{so if we take 2 dimes then we'll have to take 10 quarters according to friend.}\\
\\
\text{So the statement of friend is }$ WRONG

Number when multiplied by 0.5? Which number produces a rational

Vladimir79 [104]

I don’t really know what your asking but anything multiplied by 0.5 or .5 is going to be half of that number
Example 2•.5=1

I don’t know if this is what you were asking, but I hope this helps

Plz answer both questions 15 points

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

If the signs of rational numbers are same, then the answer is positive.

If the signs of rational numbers are different, then the answer is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A: When multiplying or dividing rational numbers, when will the answer be positive?

If we are multiplying or dividing rational numbers the answer will be positive if and only if both the rational numbers have same sign.

For example: Multiply 2 and 4.

2×4=8 (same sign)

or

Multiply -2 and -4.

-2×-4=8 (same sign)

8 is a positive rational number.

Now divided 2 and 4.

$\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}$

or

Divided -2 and -4.

$\frac{-2}{-4} =\frac{1}{2}$

1/2 is a positive rational number.

Hence, If the signs of rational numbers are same, then the answer is positive.

B: When multiplying or dividing rational numbers, when will the answer be negative?

If we are multiplying or dividing rational numbers the answer will be negative if and only if both the rational numbers have different sign.

For example: Multiply 2 and -4.

2×-4=-8 (different sign)

or

Multiply -2 and 4.

-2×4=-8 (different sign)

-8 is a negative rational number.

Now divided 2 and -4.

$\frac{2}{-4} =-\frac{1}{2}$

or

Divided -2 and 4.

$\frac{-2}{4} =-\frac{1}{2}$

-1/2 is a negative rational number

Hence, If the signs of rational numbers are different, then the answer is negative.
