x+25/x=5/2

5x=2(x+24) 5x=2x+48

5x-2x=48

3x=48 3x/3=48/3

the age of son=16

father=24+x 24+16=40

F=40 s=16

40/16=5:2

The length of a rectangular wall is 16.5 feet. The height of the wall is 8.625 feet. Cameron determines the area of the wall to
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Cameron’s solution is unreasonable because 17 times 9 is 153, and 153 is not close to his product.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle:

The area of a rectangle, of length l and height h, is given by:

A = lh

The length of a rectangular wall is 16.5 feet. The height of the wall is 8.625 feet.

This means that l = 16.5, h = 8.625

Estimate of the area:

To use an "easy" multiplication, lets consider l = 17, h = 9. So

A = lh = 17(9) = 153

Cameron determines the area of the wall to be 1423.125 square feet.

Very far from the area of 153, which means that he made a confusion with the decimal places. Thus, the correct answer is:

Cameron’s solution is unreasonable because 17 times 9 is 153, and 153 is not close to his product.

2/3 of the cost of the sweater is $18
blagie [28]
The total of the sweater is $27. 
Divide 18/1 by 2/3. You would get 27. Which means 1/3 of the sweater is $9. 
And 2/3 would be $18.

A bag contains 2 red, 5 blue, and 3 green marbles. A marble is chosen at random. What is the probability of NOT choosing a red m
Lapatulllka [165]

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Number of red = 2
  2. Number of blue = 5
  3. Number of green = 3
  • total number of marbles = 10
<h3>probability of not choosing a red marble = 1--choosing a red marble.</h3>

<u>Because</u><u> </u><u>probability</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>always</u><u> </u><u>one</u><u>(</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u>.</u>

<em>Probability</em><em> </em><em>=</em>

<em>1 -  \frac{2}{10}</em>

<em>\frac{8}{10}</em>

<em>\frac{4}{5}</em>

<em>Is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>probability</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>not</em><em> </em><em>choosing</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>red</em><em> </em><em>marble</em><em>.</em>
