Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
Answer:
3: 
4: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 3 can be re-written as:

which equals:

Question 4 can be re-written as:

Doing the first 2 brackets gives us:

Expanding these two:

Simplifying it:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
given that diameter of the pipe = 14 inches
radius = 7 inches
Length =2156 inches
Pipe is in the form of a cylinder
Volume of cylinder = pi r^2 h
where r = radius and h = l = 2156
We have to substitute the values of r and h.
Let us take pi as 22/7
= 22/7 (7)(7)(2156)
Cancel out 7 and multiply the remaining 22 ,7 and 2156
=332024 cubic inches
