Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the son's age. The father's age is 3x and 3x - x = 24.

Therefore 2x = 24 and x = 12.

The son's age is 12 and the father's age is 36 at present.

If you run a marathon of 26 1/5 miles in a time of 5 4/5 how far do you run in 1 hour pls

alisha [4.7K]

First let's make both the miles and the hours ran improper fractions:

$26+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{131}{5}\\ 5+\frac{4}{5}=\frac{29}{5}$

So, to find our miles per hour, we have to divide the miles by the hours to get: $\frac{\frac{131}{5}\text{miles}}{\frac{29}{5}\text{hours}}=\frac{131\text{miles}}{29\text{hours}} \\ \text{ Now we have to divide the top and the bottom by 29 to get our miles per hour so: }\\ \frac{\frac{131}{29}}{\text{hour}} \approx \frac{4.52 \text{miles}}{\text{hour}}$
