You need to set up a direct proportion. You have to relate Keith and Jared's ages to the ratio you were given.
Givens
Keith is 24
Keith / Jared = 3/5
J = Jared
Solution
3/5 = 24 / J Cross multiply
3*J = 5 * 24 Combine factors on the right.
3J = 120 Divide by 3
J = 120 / 3
J = 40
Conclusion
Jared is 40 years old.
.93 would have to be the answer because you do the regular calculations, then you divide to find y.
The choose C. –2/15
(-2/15) +(-13/5) =(-13/5) +a/b
a/b = (-2/15)+(-13/5) - (-13/5)
a/b = (-2/15) - ( 39/15) +(39/15)
a/b = –2/15
I hope I helped you ^_^
Answer:
5(37)+10
10(17.5)+5
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+10=180
-10 -10
5x=170
divide by 5
x=37
---------------------
10x+5=180
-5 -5
10x=175
divide by 10
x=17.5
