The known facts
- the sum of Natalie's age and Fred's age is 36
- the sum of Fred's age times four and Natalie's age is 72
Now, let's set up the equations where N is Natalie's age and F is Fred's age.
N + F = 36 ---- equation 1
N + 4F = 72 ---- equation 2
equation 2 minus equation 1 ---> 3F = 36 ---> F = 12, thus N = 24
Thus Fred is 12 years old, and Natalie is 24 years old.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Carter rode his bike 9/10 of a mile from his house to his grandmothers house. This means that the distance from Carter's house to his grandmother's house is 0.9 miles. On his way back home, he rode 3/8 of a mile before the tyre on his bike went flat. This means that he rode 0.375 miles before his tyre went flat. The distance he must walk before he gets home will be the total distance from home minus the distance that he rode. It becomes
0.9 - 0.375 = 0.575 miles
