Answer:

Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages be x and x + 2 for Janine and her sister, respectively.

x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14

Multiply both sides by the LCD, 21, to get rid of denominators.

21 * x/7 + 21 * (x + 2)/2 = 21 * 14

3x + 7(x + 2) = 294

3x + 7x + 14 = 294

10x = 280

x = 28

x + 2 = 30

Answer: Janine is 28. Ingrid is 30.

Answer:

Janine is 28 and Ingrid is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Janine's age be x years , then Ingrid's age is x+2 years.

From the given information we have the equation:

x/7 + (x + 2)/3 = 14

Multiplying through by the LCM of 3 and 7 (21),  we have:

3x + 7(x + 2) = 294

10x + 14 = 294

10x =  294-14 = 280

x = 28, so:

Janine is 28 and Ingrid is 30.

Is the following statement a good definition? Why? An integer is divisible by 100 if and only if its last two digits are zeros.
kifflom [539]
The given statement is:
An integer is divisible by 100 if and only if its last two digits are zeros

The two conditional statements that can be made are:

1) If an integer is divisible by 100 its last two digits are zeros.

This is a true statement. If a number is divisible by 100, it means 100 must be a factor of that number. When 100 will be multiplied by the remaining factors, the number will have last two digits zeros. 

2) If the last two digits of an integer are zeros, it is divisible by 100.

This is also true. If last two digits are zeros, this means 100 is a factor of the integer. So the number will be divisible by 100.

Therefore, the two conditional statements that are formed are both true.

So, the option A is the correct answer.
Yes, it is. When the definition is separated into two conditional statements, both of the statements are true

Jesse needs 10 1/4 feet of chain to complete an outdoor project. He has two small pieces each measuring 2 1/8 feet and a third p
Effectus [21]

Answer:

= 2 1/4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of chain Jesse needs = 10 1/4 feet

Length of chain Jesse has:

Two small pieces each measuring 2 1/8 feet

= 2 × 2 1/8 feet

= 2 × 17/8

= 34/8 feet

Third piece measuring 3 3/4 feet

Total Length of chain Jesse has = 34/8 feet + 3 3/4 feet

= 34/8 + 15/4

= 34+30/8

= 64/8

= 8 feet

Total Length of chain Jesse has = 8 feet

Length of chain Jesse needs to purchase = Length of chain Jesse needs - Total Length of chain Jesse has

= 10 1/4 feet - 8 feet

= 2 1/4 feet

Length of chain Jesse needs to purchase = 2 1/4 feet
