Answer:
The son is five years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the son's age be x
A man is five as old as his son, 5x
In five years, he would be three times as old as his son
In five years: son would be x+5
Father 5x+5
3(x+5)=5x+5
3x+15=5x+5
Collect like terms
15-5=5x-3x
10=2x
Divide by 2
10/2=2x/2
x=5
The son is five years old
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the complete question.
Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?
Let us convert time taken into hours as:


1 hour = 60 minutes. To convert minutes into hours, we will divide total minutes by 60.

Now, we will divide 1800 by 45 to find average rate in laps per hour as:


Therefore, Sebastian's average rate is 40 laps per hour.

Answer:
ounces of marigold seeds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Jane uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds for every ounce of Marigold seeds. We are asked to find the ounces of Marigold seeds, which Jane will use, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

Let us simplify our proportion as shown below:


Since Jane used 1 pounce of lupine seeds, so we will substitute this value in our proportion as:


Therefore, Jane will use
ounces of marigold seeds, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.
First, we must find the common denominator (12) ✵
10/12-6/12 ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵
Now, why 10? ✵ ✵ ✵
Because we CAN'T just take the denominator and change it; we must change both the denominator AND the numerator:
✵ • - ○
4/12 ✧ ✩ ✶ ✺ ✱
We can simplify, or reduce, this fraction: ✱ ✱
1/3 ✩ ✦ ✤
I hope it helps!
