Answer:
2x^4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first clue to this problem is that Bob has three kids in which the product of their ages is 72 and the sum is 14. From the factor tree, there are two combinations of the ages 2, 6, 6 and<span> 3,3,8. Last thing he said is that his youngest is named Justice. One combination has similar number in the set which means there are twins. The youngest means there can be only one child. Hence the ages of the children are 2,6,and 6. </span>
Answer:542.5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.
9x + 5x + 3x = 306
Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.
17x = 306
Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.
x = 18
However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.
9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54
You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.
Your final ratio is 162:90:54.
Hope this helps! :)
