$\huge \boxed{\mathbb{QUESTION} \downarrow}$

Revathi's age is 1/3 of her mother's age. If their difference in age is 24 years, find Revathi's age.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

Given,

Mother's age = x
Revathi's age = 1/3 x = ?
Difference in their age = 24 years ⇨ x - 1/3 x = 24.

Now, let's solve this question using the above equation which we just formed.

$\sf \: x - \frac{1}{3}x = 24 \\$

Combine x and $\sf\:-\frac{1}{3}x$ to get $\sf\frac{2}{3}x$ .

$\sf\frac{2}{3}x=24 \\$

Multiply both sides by $\sf\frac{3}{2}$ , the reciprocal of $\sf\frac{2}{3}$ .

$\sf \: x=24\times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)$

Express $\sf24\times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)$ as a single fraction.

$\sf \: x=\frac{24\times 3}{2} \\$

Multiply 24 and 3 to get 72.

$\sf \: x=\frac{72}{2} \\$

Divide 72 by 2 to get 36.

$\boxed{ \bf \: x=36 }$

We now have the age of Revathi's mother (x) = 36 years. Now, let's find Revathi's age ⇨ $\sf\:(\frac{1}{3}x)$

$\rightarrow \sf \: \frac{1}{3} x \\ \rightarrow \sf \: \frac{1}{3} \times 36 \\ \rightarrow \sf \: \frac{1}{ \bcancel 3} \times \bcancel{36} \\ \rightarrow \sf \:1 \times 12 \\ = \boxed{\boxed{\bf \: 12}}$

So, Revathi is 12 years old.

a caterer received an order to prepare 120 servings of salad for a banquet. Each serving will weigh 4 ounces. so far the caterer

Ugo [173]

To easier digest this question, we can multiply the 120 servings by 4 ounces to make it into a common unit of measurement. This way, we can compare ounces with ounces instead of ounces to servings.
We then have 480 servings, and the poor caterer only has 60 ounces. We can put that into a fraction, 60/480. From here, things get slightly easier. All we have to do is make it into a fraction we can digest, which would be 1/8. We can turn that fraction into a decimal by simply dividing. We have 0.125.
Since we are changing from a decimal into a percent, we have to move the decimal point two places to the right. We have out final answer of 12.5%.
