Answer:
69 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Let year of birth = x
This year = 2020
Year of 25th birthday = x + 25
Year of 55th birthday = x + 55
Present age = 2020 - x
Hence,
x + 2020 - (x + 25 + x + 55) + (2020 - x) = 58
x + 2020 - (2x + 80) + (2020 - x) = 58
x + 2020 - 2x - 80 + 2020 - x = 58
-2x + 4040 - 80 = 58
-2x + 3960 = 58
-2x = 58 - 3960
-2x = - 3902
x = 1951
Birth year = 1951
,
Hence, age =
2020 - 1951 = 69 years
X = 30 because the ratio of 27/45 = .6 so 18/.6 is 30
We can use ratios, in other words, if one part of the photo is changed x times, how many times does the other part change?
We can set up the proportion as :
width 1 : length 1 = width 2 : length 2
20 : 30 = 5 : x
We do inverse multiplication, or multiply the outer with outer and inner with inner (W1 * L2 and L1 * W2)
20*x = 30*5
20x = 150
Divide all by 10
2x = 15
Divide all by 2 to isolate x
x = 15/2
x = 7.5cm
