Answer:
Each friend will get 18 sea shells.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rudy has white sea shells = 10
Rudy has pink sea shells = 23
Rudy has brown sea shells = 21
Number of friends = 3
Rudy divides the sea shells into equally between three friends.
We need to find how many sea shells each friend can get.
Now first we find the total number sea shells.
Total number of sea shells = white sea shells + pink sea shells + brown sea shells = 10 + 23 + 21 = 54
Now to find number of sea shell each friend can get we will divide total number of sea shell with number of friends.
number of sea shell each friend can get = 
Hence each friend will get 18 sea shells.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
