Answer:
Ralph's current age is 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r and s represent the current ages of Ralph and Sara respectively. Our task here is to determine r, Ralph's age now.
If Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara now, then r = 3s.
Six years from now, Ralph's age will be r + 6 and Sara's will be s + 6. Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. This can be represented algebraically as
r + 6 = 2(s + 6).
We now have the following system of linear equations to solve:
r + 6 = 2s + 12, or r - 2s = 6, and r = 3s (found earlier, see above).
r - 2s = 6
r = 3s
Substituting 3s for r in r - 2s = 6, we get 3s = 2s + 6, or s = 6. Sara is 6 years old now, meaning that Ralph is 3(6 years), or 18 years old.
Ralph's current age is 18.

Answer:
5/18
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 9 pieces of fruit in the bowl, tangerines and 5 clementines.
Assuming that they do not put the fruit back
P (tangerine) = number of tangerines/ total = 4/9
Then John keeps his and there are 8 pieces of fruit in the bowl,
3 tangerines and 5 clementines.
P (Clementine) = number of clementines/ total = 5/8
P (tangerine, no replacement, Clementine) = P (tangerine) * P (Clementine)
= 4/9 * 5/8 =5/18
X time 0.8 (or 80 percent)= 15
so 15/0.8=X
18.75
