The known facts

  • the sum of Natalie's age and Fred's age is 36
  • the sum of Fred's age times four and Natalie's age is 72

Now, let's set up the equations where N is Natalie's age and F is Fred's age.

N + F = 36   ---- equation 1

N + 4F = 72 ---- equation 2

equation 2 minus equation 1 ---> 3F = 36 ---> F = 12, thus N = 24

Thus Fred is 12 years old, and Natalie is 24 years old.

Answer:

in this problem, we are going to translate our words into a mathematical equation, solve the equation and then answer the question. So we have, the father is three years older than the mother, so is three, is our answer there for this equation. So if we take the oldest minus the youngest, It would give us a difference of three. So since the father is older, we're going to say the father's age minus the mother's age is three, So we know that the mother is 42 years old, So the father minus the 42 would give us three. So to solve for F, we're going to use the addition property of equality and add 42 to both sides. So F -40 to plus 42 is F and Add 42 to both sides, and three plus 42 is 45. So this means that the father is 45 years old.

A museum requires a minimum number of chaperones proportional to the number of students on a field trip. The museum requires a m
Stells [14]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A museum requires a minimum number of chaperones proportional to the number of students on a field trip. The museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for a field trip with 24 students. Which of the following could be combinations of values for the students and the minimum number of chaperones the museum requires? Choose 2 answers.

A. Students: 72

Minimum of chaperones: 9

B. Students: 16

Minimum of chaperones: 2

C. Students: 60

Minimum of chaperones: 6

D. Students: 45

Minimum of chaperones: 5

E. Students: 40

Minimum of chaperones: 8

Since the museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for a field trip with 24 students. This means that there will be 24/3 = 8 students per chaperone.

We then divide the number of students given in the question by the number of chaperone to know our answers. This. Will be:

Students: 72

Minimum of chaperones: 9

This will be: 72/9 = 8

Therefore, this is correct.

B. Students: 16

Minimum of chaperones: 2

This will be: 16/2 = 8

This is correct

C. Students: 60

Minimum of chaperones: 6

This will be: = 60/6 = 10.

Therefore, this is wrong

D. Students: 45

Minimum of chaperones: 5

This will be 45/5 = 9

Therefore, this is wrong.

E. Students: 40

Minimum of chaperones: 8

This will be: 40/5 = 8.

Therefore, this is wrong.

Therefore, options A and B are correct.

In a factory, the chance that a certain machine works without overheating in the morning is 50%. If it runs smoothly all morning
sammy [17]
Let's imagine that we turn the machine on 100 times. (this will make the percent conversion easier)

the chance that works in the morning is 50%  of 100 so it will work 50 times.

the chance that it will then continue for the rest of the day is 15% so 15%*50 (the number of times it worked), which is 7.5 times.

our times actually represented percent, so the answer is : 7.5%!
