Answer:
9 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)
O = M + 6
Y = M - 3
30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3) ... combine like terms
30 = 3M + 3 ... subtract 3 from both sides
27 = 3M ... divide both sides by 3
9 = M
Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Find the scale factor
30 ÷ 25 = 1.2
→ Multiply answer by 20
20 × 1.2 = 24
→ Equate equation to 24
4x - 4 = 24
→ Add 4 to both sides
4x = 28
→ Divide both sides by 4
x = 7
The answer would be 198/300. That simplified would be 33/50. If you want a percent, it would be 66%.
Answer:
Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 1010. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
