<h3><u>Solution</u></h3>

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Paul is exactly 6yrs older than jane.
  • jane.the ratio of their ages is5:3

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Age off paul.

<h3><u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>l</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>a</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u></h3>

<u>Let,</u>

  • Age of paul = x years
  • Age of jane = y years

<u>A</u><u>c</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>d</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> question</u>

==> x = 6 + y

==> x - y = 6_____(1)

<u>And,</u>

==> x : y = 5:3

==> x/y = 5/3

==> 3x - 5y = 0______(2)

Multiply by 3 in equ(1)

==> 3x - 3y = 18_____(3)

<u>Subtract</u><u> </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>3</u><u>)</u>

==> -5y + 3y = -18

==> -2y = -18

==> y = 18/2

==> y = 9

<u>keep </u><u>in </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>

==> 3x - 5×9 = 0

==> 3x = 45

==> x = 45/3

==> x = 15

<h3><u>Hence</u></h3>

  • Age of paul = 15 year

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 7:1. If there are 66 more boys than girls, work out how many girls there are
nevsk [136]

Answer:11

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : girls=7:1

Sum of ratio=7+1=8

Let them number of girls be y

Then they number of boys=y+66

Total number of pupils=y+y+66

Total number of pupils=2y+66

Number of girls=(girls ratio)/(sum of ratio) x (total number of pupils)

y=1/8 x (2y+66)

Cross multiply

y x 8=2y + 66

8y=2y + 66

Collect like terms

8y-2y=66

6y=66

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6=66/6

y=11

The number of girls is 11

An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 7 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 7 years is
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm

Step-by-step explanation:

dh/dt = 1.2t + 3

at t = 0, h = 11 cm

(a)

dh / dt = 1.2 t + 3

dh = (1.2 t + 3) dt

integrate on both sides

h = 0.6 t^2 + 3t + c    .... (1)

where c is the integrating constant

put t = 0

11 = c

Put in equation (1) , we get

h = ( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm

Thus, teh height of tree after t years is given by

( 0.6 t^2 + 3t + 11 ) cm.

A ladder is leaning against the side of a building and positioned such that the base of the ladder is 17 ft from the base of the
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The ladder is 28.6 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of base = 17 feet

Length above the ground = 23 feet

These forms two legs of right angled triangle.

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

a^2+b^2=c^2\\(17)^2 + (23)^2 = c^2 \\289 + 529 = c^2 \\c^2 = 818

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{818}\\c=28.6

Hence,

The ladder is 28.6 feet long.
