If both Pamela and Debbie can shelf the same number of books at the end, the smallest number of books each could have shelved is 182

The number of books that Pamela can shelf at a time = 26

The number of books that Debbie can shelf at a time = 7

If both Pamela and Debbie can shelf the same number of books at the end, the smallest number of books each could have shelved is the least common multiple of 26 and 7

The Least common multiple of 26 and 7  = 182

Therefore, if both Pamela and Debbie can shelf the same number of books at the end, the smallest number of books each could have shelved is 182

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Richard is older

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an inequality for both statements.

Let r equal Richard's age and s equal Sylvia's age.

"I am older than my wife."

Since Richard is speaking, the inequality would look like this:

r > s

This means Richard is older than Sylvia.

"I am younger than my husband."

Since Sylvia is speaking, the inequality would look like this:

s < r

This means that Sylvia is younger than Richard.

We can flip one inequality to "see" them from the same perspective.

Let's use s < r

To make it so that we can see the relationship from Richard's perspective, flip the entire inequality.

s < r

to

r > s

The inequality from the first quote is identical to this one!

Therefore, Richard is older than Sylvia.
