Bob and Mark talk about their families. Bob says he has 3 kids, the product of their ages is 72. He gives another clue: the sum

of the ages of his children. Mark points out that there is still not enough information to accurately guess. Finally, Bob says, "My youngest child called Justice." Mark can then correctly determine the ages of Bob's children. What are the ages?

To answer this, we try to list the possible ages of his children. Given above,

xyz=72

That first clue is not sufficient to produce a single solution, so Bob reveals the sum of their ages to Mark (sums sorted in ascending order): 
Age1        Age2      Age3              Sum
3                4              6                     13
2                6              6                     14
3                3              8                     14
2                4              9                     15
2                3              12                   17
1                8              9                     18
1                6              12                   19
2                2              18                   22
1                4              18                   23
1                3              24                   28
1                2              36                   39
1                1              72                   74

Mark says that there is still insufficient information, there must be duplicate sets of ages that produce a single product.  Here are the two:    
Age1        Age2      Age3              Sum
2                6              6                      14
3                3              8                      14

I think the correct answer are 2, 6, 6.

What does the balloon symbolize to Mattie at the close of the book or story?
Zinaida [17]

In Mattie's mind, Blanchard's balloon—“a yellow silk bubble escaping the earth”—symbolizes freedom, particularly an escape from her home, where she feels as if she's trapped and treated like a child.

(1) Earth's crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called
WINSTONCH [101]

The correct answer is D. There is no single topic sentence.

Explanation:

A topic sentence is a sentence that summarizes the main idea of a paragraph, this sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph and states what the paragraph is about. On the other hand, the paragraph presented here deals with multiple topics or concepts including the Earth's crust, the plates, the Earth's mantle, volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain ranges, this means the paragraph is related to geography but explores multiple ideas that are not summarized in any of the sentences presented in the paragraph, neither at the beginning nor at the end of it. Thus, as there is no any sentence or phrase that states what the paragraph is about as a unit or summarizes all the ideas of the paragraph there is no a single topic sentence because this paragraph includes multiples ideas that might be difficult to summarize in only one topic sentence.

A list of synonyms and antonyms for the words peak, peek, and pique.
algol [13]

Answer:

- <u>Peak</u> is the word that best accomplishes the sentence.

- '<u>Climbing for hours</u>' is the context clue that supports the above answer.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the most appropriate word to complete the sentence would be 'peak' as it appropriately goes with the context. The word 'peak' <u>implies 'end or top of anything' which is contextually relevant</u> to the meaning of the sentence implying that 'the hikers finally reached the top(of the mountain) after hours of arduous efforts in climbing it<u>'</u>. Thus, the other two words become insignificant(contextually).

<u>Context clues are described as the hints or clues that are provided by the author in order to assist the readers to determine the meaning of an unusual word</u>. These clues usually involve synonyms, antonyms, explanation, etc. Thus, the phrase 'climbing for hours' functions as the explanatory context clue that defines the hikers approach to reach at the top i.e. 'peak'.
