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

6/7 divided by 1 2/5
Alja [10]
In order to multiply or divide a fraction by a mixed numeral, it is best to have them BOTH in fraction form. 1) We'll convert 1 2/5 into an improper fraction. (1×5)+2 = 7/5
Now 6/7 ÷ 7/5
2) when dividing by a fraction, it is the same to multiply by its reciprocal. So flip the second fraction and multiply them: 6/7 ÷ 7/5 = 6/7 × 5/7
3) reduce them: there is nothing on top that reduces with the bottom, so we simply multiply
4) multiply numerators, then multiply denominators and keep them in place: 6×5 = 30, 7×7 = 49
5) so our final answer is 30/49

Identify the similar triangles and find each measure​
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle J = Angle P, and Angle L = Angle L so the triangles have the same angle measures all the way around. Triangle JKL is the same as Triangle LMP, but smaller. it has been reduced by a ratio of 4:6. You then divide 4 by 6 to get the ratio in decimal form, and then multiply that by 12 to get the equivalent length for JK to PM
