Answer:

y is 1/3 of x

Step-by-step explanation:

x:y is 3:1

mathematically, we have this as;

x/y = 3/1

x = 3y

or y = x/3

So the correct answer is that y is 1/3 of x

3 years ago a father was 3 times as old as his son, in five years time he will be twice as old as his son, what will be the sum

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 46 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:

Father = x - 3

son = y - 3

Then , from the first statement :

x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )

x - 3 = 3y - 9

x = 3y - 9 + 3

x = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1

In five years time

father = x + 5

son = y + 5

Then , from the second statement

x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )

x + 5 = 2y + 10

x = 2y + 10 - 5

x = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have

3y -6 = 2y + 5

add 6 to both sides

3y = 2y + 5 + 6

subtract 2y from both sides

3y - 2y = 11

y = 11

substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x

x = 3y - 6

x = 3(11) - 6

x = 33 - 6

x = 27

This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.

In four years time

father = 27 + 4 = 31

son = 11 + 4 = 15

sum of their ages in four years time will be

31 + 15 = 46 years

Chase consumes an energy drink that contains caffeine. After consuming the energy drink, the amount of caffeine in Chase's body

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

(a) The 5-hour decay factor is 0.5042.

(b) The 1-hour decay factor is 0.8720.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of caffeine in Chase's body decreases exponentially.

The 10-hour decay factor for the number of mg of caffeine is 0.2542.

The 1-hour decay factor is:

$1-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.2542)^{1/10}=0.8720$

(a)

Compute the 5-hour decay factor as follows:

$5-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.8720)^{5}\\=0.504176\\\approx0.5042$

Thus, the 5-hour decay factor is 0.5042.

(b)

The 1-hour decay factor is:

$1-hour\ decay\ factor=(0.2542)^{1/10}=0.8720$

Thus, the 1-hour decay factor is 0.8720.

(c)

The equation to compute the amount of caffeine in Chase's body is:

A = Initial amount × (0.8720)<em>ⁿ</em>

It is provided that initially Chase had 171 mg of caffeine, 1.39 hours after consuming the drink.

Compute the amount of caffeine in Chase's body 2.39 hours after consuming the drink as follows:

$A = Initial\ amount \times (0.8720)^{2.39} \\=[Initial\ amount \times (0.8720)^{1.39}] \times(0.8720)\\=171\times 0.8720\\=149.112$

Thus, the amount of caffeine in Chase's body 2.39 hours after consuming the drink is 149.112 mg.
