Answer: 46 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:
Father = x - 3
son = y - 3
Then , from the first statement :
x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )
x - 3 = 3y - 9
x = 3y - 9 + 3
x = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1
In five years time
father = x + 5
son = y + 5
Then , from the second statement
x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )
x + 5 = 2y + 10
x = 2y + 10 - 5
x = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2
Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have
3y -6 = 2y + 5
add 6 to both sides
3y = 2y + 5 + 6
subtract 2y from both sides
3y - 2y = 11
y = 11
substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(11) - 6
x = 33 - 6
x = 27
This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.
In four years time
father = 27 + 4 = 31
son = 11 + 4 = 15
sum of their ages in four years time will be
31 + 15 = 46 years
Answer:
The ratio of salmon to total fish caught is 9 over 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with what we know. We have 200 total fish caught and 36% are salmon. The rest is just mumble jumble so don't pay attention to that.
All we have to do is find 36% of 200, and the easiest way to do that is by first knowing that 36% of 100 is 36 so if we double that it will give us 36% of 200.
36 x 2 = 72
So, the ratio of salmon to total fish caught is 72 over 200. But, in simplest form is 9 over 25 because 72/200 divided by 4/4 = 9/25.
Hope this helps! If you have any additional questions please don't hesitate tp ask me or your teacher to be sure you really master this subject. Stay safe and please mark brainliest!
In order to find what one part is in a ratio, you have to add the ratio up ( 5+ 3) and divide it by the number you're looking for (56). In this case, you get 56/8, which gives you 7. Therefore, each part is worth 7. You then have to multiply both sides of the ratio (5 and 3) by 7. 5x7= 35. 3x7= 21.
Therefore, 56 divided into the ratio of 5:3 is 35:21
-32 = 4c -12
add -34 by 12 which is -20
divide it by 4
c = -5
