Answer: the second option !!!
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you have to make a system of equations.
Since the father and son's age sum up to 60, the first equation will be:
f + s = 60
Secondly, since the father's age is 5 times the age of the son 6 years ago the equation will be:
6 - (5s) = f
Now, you have to solve the first equation to let it equal to s
f + s = 60
f = 60 - s
Plug in
6 - 5s = 60 - s
+s +s
6 - 4s = 60
-6 -6
---------------------
-4s = 54
----- -----
-4 -4
s ≅ 14
14 + 6 = 20
Answer:
40 students picked bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 picked apples
1 - 3/4 = 1/4 picked bananas
3/4x = 120
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4/3
4/3 * (3/4x) = 120/1 * (4/3)
x = 480/3
x = 160
Total of 160 students
/ \
120 = apples 160 - 120 = 40 = bananas
40 students picked bananas
Hope this helps :)
Flour : sugar = (1/3) : (1/5) = 5 : 3 . . . . . . . . multiply the first ratio by 15 to eliminate fractions
The total of ratio units in the last representation is 5+3=8, so for a recipe of 16 cups, each ratio unit will stand for 16/8 = 2 cups.
Multiplying the ratio by 2 cups, we find Amanda will need
... 10 cups flour : 6 cups sugar
for her recipe.
