Answer:

16 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the letters s, b, and c for Sushil, Brian, and Caroline's ages. Sushil is the oldest, followed by Brian, and then Caroline, the youngest. From the problem description, we can set up three equations:

s = b + 6 <em>(Sushil is 6 years older than Brian)</em>

c = b - 5 <em>(Caroline is 5 years younger than Brian)</em>

s + b + c = 64 <em>(The total of their ages is 64)</em>

Since s and c are already in terms of b, we can substitute them into the last equation and solve to find Brian's age:

(b + 6) + b + (b - 5) = 64

3b + 1 = 64

3b = 63

b = 21

Now that we know Brian's age, we can simply subtract 5 to find Caroline's:

c = b - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16 years old.

Answer:

option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

average rate of change in steel production over the eight days=-0.15 tons per day

Step-by-step explanation:

The production rate of a steel factory is declining due to old machinery. Over the last eight days production has dropped by 1.2 tons.

Production is dropped by 1.2 tons, so its negative

Average rate of change = Change in production / number of days

Average rate of change = -1.2/ 8= -0.15

so sorry -0.15
