Subtract 9 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 3.
Bill received $144 more than Pam.
Explanation:
To create the ratio, we can divide 360 by 5 which equals 72.
3x72= 216
360
The ratio that is proportionate to 3:5 is 216:360
So, 360 - 216 = 144
The fraction is equivalent to 1/2 since you can simplify 4/8 as (4/4)/(8/4) = 1/2.
Answer:
J - Janeta's age M - mother's age
A) (J-5) = .2 * (M-5)
B) J = (1/3) * M
Subtracting 5 from both sides of B:
B) J -5 = (1/3)M -5
then we substitute the right side of this into the left side of A and we get
(1/3)M -5 = .2 M -1
.333333333333M -5 = .2M -1
.1111111111111111111M = 4
Mother's Age = 36
Janeta's Age = 12
