Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
because 3 is the only number that goes into both 3 and 27
Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.
This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 OR 2³ x 3²
3 ages.
eldest = 3³ = 9
middle = 2² = 4
youngest = 2¹ = 2
2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72
Hi There!
<span>t < –5 and t may be a negative number!</span>
If it is just an estimate then it would be around <em>4</em>. 15.1 is pretty close to 16 which has a perfect square root of 4. Since it is a square both length and width would be the same. To check it you can just square 4 or 4 times 4 and get 16. Hopefully I helped! And sorry if I am wrong.
BTW the exact answer would be 3.88~ (square root of 15.1) just incase you needed that. :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x , y
Sum of two numers = -7
x + y = -7------------(I)
Two times the first number equals 4 the second number.
2x = 4y ----------(II)
Divide both sides by 2
x = 2y
Subtitute x = 2y in equation (I)
2y + y = -7
3y = -7
y = -7/3
Plugin y = -7/3 in equation (II)
