Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of ages of two friends is 13 years.
The product of their ages is 42.
<em>Let the age of 1st friend and 2nd friend is x, y respectively.</em>
<em>1 st condition= The sum of ages of two friends is 13 y</em><em>r</em><em>s. </em>
i.e x+y = 13........ (I)
<em>2nd condition= The product of their ages is 42.</em>
i.e X*y = 42........(ii)
From equation (I)
X+y = 13
or, X = 13-y........ (iii)
<em>Putting the equation (iii) in equation (ii).</em>
X*y= 42
(13-y) * y = 42
13y - y^2 = 42





Either; y-6 = 0
y = 6
Or;
y-7=0
y = 7
<em>Keeping the value of y as "7" in equation (ii)</em>
x*y = 42
7x = 42
X = 42/7
Therefore, the value of X is 6.
Therefore, either 1st friend is 6 years and 2nd is 7 years.

Answer:
<h2> D=C/4</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that elevation of the cities are
A=72 feet
C=24 feet
D=1/4 of C
The expression for the elevation of city D is
D=C/4
substituting C=24 in the expression we have
D=24/4
D=6
The answer is positive because the elevation is above sea level
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 miles = 7/2 miles
1/2 hours= 30 minutes
So,
In 30 mins, travelled 7/2 miles
In 1 min, travelled 7/2 ÷ 30= 7/2× 1/30 = (7×1)/(2×30) = 7/60 miles
In 60 mins, travelled (7×60)/60 miles = 420/60 miles = 7 miles.
Hence, the speed is 7 miles per hour.
Obasi earns 150% of his regular hourly wage while working overtime.
Let us convert percentage into fraction first:
To convert a percentage into fraction we need to use the following formula:
a%
Here, he earns 150% of his hourly wage while working overtime:
So,
150%=
Obasi earns
of his hourly earnings or 1.5 times of his hourly earnings while working overtime.
