Answer:

  • Beau is 9
  • Max is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dogs' ages be represented by b and m.

  b + m = 16

  b - m = 2

Adding these equations gives ...

  2b = 18

  b = 9 . . . . . . divide by 2

  m = 7 . . . . . . 2 years younger than Beau

Beau is 9; Max is 7.

_____

Once you realize the above solution is generic, you can write down the answer that <em>(older)</em> Beau is half the <em>sum</em> of the given numbers: (16 +2)/2 = 9. Then Max's age is easily found, or it can be computed as half the difference of the given numbers: (16 -2)/2 = 7.

6/7 divided by 12/14 please show the work
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing one fraction by another, the best way to solve it is to multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal just flipping the fraction over. So you would leave the 6/7 and the multiply by 14/12( because you are multiplying by the reciprocal). When you do that, you then can just multiply the top and the bottom to form one fraction. The numerator is 6*14 = 84, and the denominator is 7*14 = 84. So you are left with 84/84 which anything over itself is equal to one.

Hope this helps!
