3)The original rational number was 17/12.
4)The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
Explanation:
3)Let the numerator be x.
So denominator will be (x - 5)
If we add 5 to numberator then it will be (x + 5)
New number is (x + 5)/(x - 5)=11/6
Solve for X by cross multiplying
6(x + 5)=11(x - 5)
6x + 30=11x - 55
5x=85
x=17
So original rational number was 17/12.
4)The ages of Ruby and Reshma are in the ratio 5:7
So, let the present ages of Ruby and Reshma be 5x and 7x respectively.
Also, it is given that four years from now the ratio of their ages will be 3:4
So, the equation - 5x + 4 / 7x + 3 = 3/4
⇒4(5x+4)=3(7x+4)
⇒20x+16=21x+12
⇒21x−20x=16−12
⇒x=4
⇒5x=20 and 7x=28
The age of Ruby and Reshma are 20 and 28 years respectively.
4 2/3+5x=7-2x
Add 2x to both sides.
4 2/3+7x=7
Subtract 4 2/3 on both sides.
7x=2 1/3
7x=7/3
Divide by 7 on both sides.
x=1/3
answer: x=1/3
Idk but it's 0.416667
cuz 25/60 equals so
Answer
36/9= 4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a fraction equal to
36 gallons ÷ 9 minutes
We want a unit rate where
1 is in the denominator,
so we divide top and bottom by 9
36 gallons ÷ 9
9 minutes ÷ 9
=
4 gallons
1 minute
=
4 gallons
minute
= 4 gallons per minute
