Answer:

Marc's age is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> Marc's age

y ---> Tony's age

z ---> Ben's age

we know that

the sum of their ages is 40

so

x+y+z=40 -----> equation A

Marc is half as old as Tony

so

x=\frac{y}{2}

y=2x ----> equation B

Marc is three times as old as Ben

so

x=3z

z=\frac{x}{3} ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

x+2x+\frac{x}{3}=40

solve for x

\frac{10x}{3}=40

x=40(3)/10\\x=12\ years

therefore

Marc's age is 12

SSSSS [86.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

No, Shannon  didn’t mix the correct shade

<u>Explanation: </u>

Ratio required for the shade Red : Blue = 5 : 7

The ratio formed of Shannon must be equal to the above standard ratio

But Shannon’s ratio which was mixed for red and blue is

= Red : Blue  

= 8 : 12

= 2 : 3, which is not equal to 5 : 7.

Therefore it is proved that Shannon mixing does not matches with the required mixing ratio which is 5:7.

A small glass holds 180 ml. How many glasses can be filled from a 2 litre bottle?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
If you can assume that the 2l bottle is full, then it holds 2000ml.
2,000 divided by 180 = 11.11.
So the answer is, if you don't spill any, 11 glasses may be filled, with a bit left over.

Tell whether the rates are equivalent. 0.4 kilometer for every 15 minutes 0.6 kilometer for every 20 minutes
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

no they are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

0.4/15 = 0.026

so for every minute they travel 0.026km

0.6/20 = 0.03

so for every minute they travel 0.03km

so they are not the same/equivalent
