Answer:
first one
Step-by-step explanation:
3 yrs ago:
Alice - x
Jane - 3x
Fast forward 2 years... 1 year ago:
Sum of their ages = 62
Equation to solve: x + 3x = 62
4x = 62
----- -----
4 4
x = 15.5
From this, we can deterime that Alice is 15 1/2 years old.
Then, plug in 15.5 for x in 3x to find Jane's age.
15.5 × 3 = 46.5
From this, we can determine that Jane is 46 1/2 years old.
I hope this helps you to understand this problem better.
Answer:
144
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of men to women working for a company is 8 to 5.
Total men and women working as per the ratio is 8+5 = 13
So the ratio of men to total is
the ratio of women to total is
there are 234 employees total
To find the number of men works , we make a proportion
Cross multiply it
8 * 234 = 13x
1872 = 13x
Divide by 13 on both sides
x= 144
The answer is 2/5. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 7. :)
