Answer:

30 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio of age = 3 : 1 = 3x : x ( x is a multiplier )

Six years ago their age ratio was

3x - 6 : x - 6 = 6 : 1 ← express in fractional form

\frac{3x-6}{x-6} = \frac{6}{1} ( cross- multiply )

6(x - 6) =3 x - 6

6x - 36 = 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

3x - 36 = - 6 ( add 36 to both sides )

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10

Thus their present ages are

mother = 3x = 3 × 10 = 30

daughter = x = 10

a school had 690 students sign up for the trivia teams if they wanted to have nine teams with the same number of students on eac
uysha [10]

Answer:

3 more students need to sign up

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equal number of students in 9 teams be x.

Total number of signed up students = 690.

Let t be the required number of students to be signed.

Therefore, 9x = 690+t.

This means, 690+t is a multiple of 9.

The least value of t to make 690+t, a multiple of 9 is 3 and hence,

\frac{693}{9}

= 77

Hence, 3 more students need to sign up and each of the 9 teams consists of 77 students.

total number of cars:    x

the total number of axles:    46

and the number of axles  installed per car:   2

2 axles in each car, then total instaled axles:  2•x

2•x = 46

x = 46÷2

x = 23

The number of transistors per IC in 1972 seems to be about 4,000 (a rough estimate by eye). Using this estimate and Moore's Law,
spayn [35]

Answer:

The prediction for the number of transistor per IC in 1992 is of 4,194,304,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Moore's law:

Moore's law states that the number of transistors per IC doubles every year.

Format of the function:

Following Moore's law, t years after our initial estimative, the number of transistors per IC will be given by:

N(t) = N(0)*2^t

In which N(0) is the initial estimate.

The number of transistors per IC in 1972 seems to be about 4,000 (a rough estimate by eye).

This means that N(0) = 4000

So

N(t) = 4000*2^t

What would you predict the number of transistors per IC to be 20 years later, in 1992?

This is N(20). So

N(20) = 4000*2^20 = 4194304000

The prediction for the number of transistor per IC in 1992 is of 4,194,304,000
