Answer: 68
Explanation:
Let x be the age of Mr Jasmi
y be the age of Miss Haslinda
a + b + c be the age of the 3 children
We can write:
(x + y + a + b + c)/5 = 38
But:
(a + b + c)/3 = 18
a + b + c = 18(3)
a + b + c = 54
Substitute this value to our first equation
(x + y + 54)/5 = 38
x + y + 54 = 38(5)
x + y + 54 = 190
x + y = 190 - 54
x + y = 136
Thus:
Mean age of (mr jasmi and miss Linda) = (x+y)/2
But x + y = 136
=> mean age = 136/2 = 68
Answer:
C. 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes. I just did this question on a test actually
I divided $.55 by 777 and got 0.00585 cents per apple. Then I mulitplied 0.00585 by 999 and got $5.85.
We need to first find a common denominator. This means that we need the 12 and the 3 to be the same number. We can change the 1/3 into 4/12 and see that 9/12 is larger than 4/12.
