Ok so
fater=60
son is 1/2
60 times 1/2=30
they aer 30 years apart

how long ago was father age 4 times son age
father's age x year ago=60-x
son's age x years ago=30-x

60-x=4(30-x)
distribute
60-x=120-4x
add 4x to both sides
60+3x=120
minus 60 from both sides
3x=60
divide both sides by 3
x=20

The final exam of a particular class makes up 40% of the final grade, and Moe is failing the class with an average (arithmetic m
amm1812

Answer:

%82.5

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The final exam of a particular class makes up 40% of the final grade
  2. Moe is failing the class with an average (arithmetic mean) of 45% just before taking the final exam.

From point 1 we know that Moe´s grade just before taking the final exam represents 60% of the final grade. Then, using the information in the point 2 we can compute Moe´s final grade as follows:

FG=0.40*FE+0.60*0.45,

where FG is Moe´s Final Grade and FE is Moe´s final exam grade. Then,

\frac{ FG-0.60*0.45}{0.40}=FE.

So, in order to receive the passing grade average of 60% for the class Moe needs to obtain in his exam:

FE=\frac{ 0.60-0.60*0.45}{0.40}=0.825

That is, he need al least %82.5 to obtain a passing grade.
