Answer:

Katie is 6 years old and Thomas is 3 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we should let K and T be the current ages of two siblings, Katie and Thomas.

If Katie is currently twice the age of Thomas then,

K = 2T

and in  6 years, Katie will be 4 times Thomas's current age then

K + 6 = 4T

Solving both equations simultaneously by substituting the value of K given in the first equation into the second

2T + 6 = 4T

Collect like terms

6 = 4T - 2T

6 = 2T

Divide both sides by 2

T = 3

Recall that K = 2T

K = 2 * 3

= 6

Hence Katie is 6 years old while Thomas is 3 years old

What’s the answer to 3\4(8x + 12) = 3
Artemon [7]

Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{4} (8x + 12) = 3 ( multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction )

3(8x + 12) = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

8x + 12 = 4 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

8x = - 8 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = - 1

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 269ml of sucrose and 47ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of
leonid [27]

Answer:

1000 : 269 : 47

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a way of comparing the value or amount of one quantity to another.

We are to find the ration of water to sucrose to saline solution, hence, it must remain in that order.

Water : Sucrose : Saline solution

The amount of water is 1 litre (1 * 1000 ml = 1000 ml)

The amount of sucrose is 269 ml

The amount of saline solution is 47 ml

Therefore, the ratio of water to sucrose to saline solution is:

W : S : SS = 1000 : 269 : 47

Since 1000, 269 and 47 have no common factors, that is the simplest form of the ratio.
