This is what someone else answered when someone else asked it. I can't explain it better than this.
So five sibbllings ages are repressented as
a,b,c,d,e
let's have a as youngest and e as oldest in that order
total ages are 195 so
a+b+c+d+e=195
oldest is 13 older thatn youngest
e=13+a
middle child anne (c) is 5 years younger than josie who is an unknow position, we know that she could be d or e or oldest or second oldest
the other 2 are 6 years appart
b and d ar e 6 years appart or b and e are 6 years apart? or is josie the oldest, or second oldest?
second oldes is 42 so
d=42
2 scenarios
if josie is oldest, then see AAAA and if josie is second oldest then see BBBB
AAAA
josie is 13 years older than mark
e=13+a
anne is 5 less than josie
c=e-5
the other 2 are 6 years apart
b+6=d
d=42
subsitute and get
b=36
add and get
78+a+c+e=195
a+c+e=117
e-13+e-5+e=117
3e-18=117
add 18 to both sides
3e=135
divided both sides by 3
e=45
subsitute
a=32
b=36
c=40
d=42
e=45
BBBB
oldest is 13 older than youngest
e=13+a
middle is 5 younger than josie (d)
c=d-5
the other 2 are 6 apart
b=e-6
d=42
subsitute
c=37
subsitute
a+b+37+42+e=195
a+b+e+79=195
subtract 79 from both sides
a+b+e=116
subsitute
e-13+e-6+e=116
3e-19=116
add 19 to both sides
3e=135
divide both sides by 3
e=45
subsitute
45-6=39=b
45-13=32=a
c=42-5=37
this is wrong because b cannot be older than c so therefor AAA si the correct answer
THE ANSWER IS
Josie is the oldest=45
Unknown is second oldest=42
Anne is middle=40
Unknown2 is second youngest=36
Mark is the youngest=32
Answer:
12/15
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer to this question, we first need to align the numerators and find what multiplies by 4 to get 12.
This is achieved by dividing 12 by 4.
12 / 4 = 3
Now, we need to multiply 3 by the denominator (5) to get the missing denominator of the second fraction.
5 * 3 = 15 --> (Denominator)
Inputting the denominator into the second fraction, we have the fraction:
12/15
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
A is an arithmetic sequence in that is adds or subtracts the same amount.
B is also an arithmetic is that it takes the original 1000 and adds another 1000 for each year
C is a geometric sequence because it's losing 5× however many questions missed
D is the answer because it says it loses 10% every year, so it loses 10% of the previous year, not the beginning year.
Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Change the divisor 4.5 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 1 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 1 places to the right.
We then have the equations:
90 ÷ 45 = 2
and therefore:
9 ÷ 4.5 = 2
Answer:
x=14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar, you first line up the sides. Then, because the 16 and the 24 line up together, you divide them to find out how much bigger the first triangle is, which is 3/2 or 1.5. After that, you can see that the 21 and the x are on the same side, so you would divide 21 by 1.5 or 3/2 to get x. 21÷1.5=14.
x=14
