Ama's age is two thirds that of her elder sister. Four years ago ama's age was half the sister's. How old is the sister?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ama's sister is 12 now and Ama is 8. 8/12 simplified is 2/3.

Four years ago Ama's would have been 4 and her sister would have been 8. 4/8 simplified is 1/2.

The equations:

(Ama is a)

(Ama's sister is s)

a = (2/3)s

a - 4 = (1/2)(s - 4)

Step one:

You would substitute the first equation into the second equation to get

(2/3)s - 4 = (1/2)(s - 4)

Step two:

Multiply by 6 to get rid of the fractions to get

4s - 24 = 3(s - 4)

Step three:

Simplify to get

4s - 24 = 3s - 12

Step four:

Subtract 3s and add 24 to get

s = 12

Step five:

Input the s value into the first equation to get

a = (2/3)(12) = 8

If this helped please rate, thanks, and mark brainliest! Also, please comment if it's correct :)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let ama's age be x

and ama's sister be y

according to question

3x=2y --------(1)

x-4=(y-4)/2 ---------(2)

after solving equation (1) and (2)

we get ama's age is 8 years and AMA'S SISTER AGE IS 12 years

Find the coordinates of a point that divides the directed line segment PQ in the ratio 5:3. A) (2, 2) B) (4, 1) C) (–6, 6) D) (4, 5)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete we need point P and point Q.

let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4)

To find the coordinate of the point that divides a line segment PQ with point P at [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and point Q at [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] in the proportion a:b, we use the formula:

[tex]x-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(x_2-x_1)+x_1 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(y_2-y_1)+y_1[/tex]

line segment PQ  is divided in the ratio 5:3 let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4). Therefore:

[tex]x-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(-2-3)+3 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(4-1)+1[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

V=a³

a= ∛V= ∛21952 cm³ = 28 cm

Answer:

28 is the answer because you have to find the cube root of the volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

28 is the answer because you have to find the cube root of the volume. This is because a cube has equal sides so it means that the sides have to be equal. When you find volume, you have to multiply the length, width, and height. So you have to find the cube root of 21952. The cube root is 28.

*Sign changes when you divide inequality with a negative number.

Further explanation:

When you add, subtract, divide or multiply an inequality, it applies throughout. This means that from step 1 to 2, if you subtract 1 from the constant 58 to obtain 57, your inequality should be:

19< -6x -3< 57

Note that you do not subtract 1 from the coefficient of x (which means -6x does not become -7x since -7 is not a constant here).

Thus, the easiest way to solve an inequality with 2 inequality signs is to split them up into 2 different inequalities first and solving them separately before combining them into 1 to solve the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pointy objects such as pyramids and cones have 1/3 the volume of a prism (or cylinder) with the same base area. So, for a cone and cylinder of the same base area to have the same volume, the cone must be 3 times as high.

The figures described as having that relationship are ...

Additional comment

The perimeter of a prism is not sufficient to define its base area, unless the shape of the base is well-enough defined. However, the perimeter of the base is useful for determining the lateral surface area. Unfortunately, that is not of any interest in this problem.

To find the fourth angle add all the known angles and subtract them from 360°

That's

x + 205 = 360

x = 360-205

Find the area of this circle. Area = _______ in2. Use 3.14 for pi and round to the nearest tenth. A. 35.8 B. 28.3 C. 254.3 D. 1017.4

Answers

Answer:

A ≈ 254.5 in²

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Circle Formula: A = πr²

d = 2r

Since we are given diameter d, we simply divide by 2 to get radius r:

r = 18/2 = 9

Then we simply plug it into the formula:

A = π(9)²

A = 81π

A = 254.469

A circle with a radius of 9 inches has an area of 254.3 square inches. The of aarea  circle is calculated using the formula πr², where π is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14 and r is the radius of the circle.

Hence, the correct option is C.

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr², where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is 9 inches, so the area is given by:

In this case, the radius is 9 inches, so the area of circle is given by,

Area = pi × [tex]9^{2}[/tex]

Area = 3.14 × 81

Area= 254.3

The value of pi is approximately 3.14, so the area of the circle is approximately 254.3. However, the question asks for the area rounded to the nearest tenth, so the answer is 254.3.

Answers

Answer:

C = (2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B = (10 ; 2)

M = (6 ; 2)

C = (x ; y )

|___________|___________|

B (10;2)            M (6;2)             C ( x; y)

So:

dBM = dMC

√[(2-2)^2 + (6-10)^2] = √[(y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2]

(2-2)^2 - (6-10)^2 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2

0 + (-4)^2 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2

16 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 6)^2

16 - (x - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2

Also:

2*dBM = dBC

2*√[(2-2)^2 + (6-10)^2] = √[(y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2]

4*[(0)^2 + (-4)^2] = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2

4*(16) = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2

64 = (y-2)^2 + (x - 10)^2

64 = 16 - (x - 6)^2 + (x - 10)^2

48 = (x - 10)^2 - (x - 6)^2

48 = x^2 - 20*x + 100 - x^2 + 12*x - 36

48 = - 20*x + 100 + 12*x - 36

8*x = 16

x = 2

Thus:

16 - (x - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2

16 - (2 - 6)^2 = (y-2)^2

16 - (-4)^2 = (y-2)^2

16 - 16 = (y-2)^2

0 =  (y-2)^2

0 = y - 2

2 = y

Isabel purchased bananas and apples at a grocery store. She spent a total of $9.90 on 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of bananas. If the apple cost 3 times as much per pound as bananas, what is the cost per pound of apples??

A) $0.90

B) $1.80

C) $2.70

D) $3.60

Answers

Answer:

C. $2.70

If one pound of apples cost 3 times the amount of a pound of bananas, then a pound of apples costs; $2.70.

The cost per pound of apples will be $2.70, which is the correct answer would be option (C).

What is the equation?

The equation is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.

Let the cost per pound of apples be x, and the cost per pound of banana be y

She spent a total of $9.90 on 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of bananas.

So, 3x + 2y = 9.90 ....(i)

And the apple cost 3 times as much per pound as bananas.

So, x = 3y

y = x/3  ....(ii)

Substitute the value of y = x/3 in the equation (i), and solve

3x + 2(x/3) = 9.90

3x + 2x/3 = 9.90

11x/3 = 9.90

11x = 2.97

x = 2.97/11

x = 2.70

Thus, the cost per pound of apples will be $2.70.
