Five years ago, Mark was twice as old as Max. In three years, Max's age will be 2/3 that of Mark. What is the sum of their ages now

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Mark be x

Let the present age of Max be y

Five years ago

Mark = x-5

Max = y - 5

If mark was twice as old as Max, then;

x - 5 = 2(y-5)

x-5 = 2y - 10

x-2y = -10+5

x - 2y = -5 ... 1

In three years,

mark = x+3

Max = y+3

Now if Max's age will be 2/3 that of Mark, then;

x+3 = 2/3(y+3)

3(x+3) = 2(y+3)

3x + 9 = 2y+6

3x-2y = -3 .... 2

Solve 1 and 2 simultaneously

x - 2y = -5 ... 1

3x-2y = -3 .... 2

From 1: x = -5 + 2y

Substitute into 2:

3(-5+2y) - 2y = -3

-15 + 6y - 2y = -3

-15 + 4y = -3

4y = -3 + 15

4y = 12

y = 3

Recall thet x = -5+2y

x = -5+2(3)

x = -5 + 6

x = 1

The sum of their ages will be x+y

x+y = 1+3

x+y = 4

Hence the sum of their ages now is 4years

Line 1: 2/3 - 1/2 = 4/?-?/6
Line 2: / - / = ?/6

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{6} - \frac{3}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{?} - \frac{?}{6}[/tex]

[tex]/ - / = \frac{?}{6}[/tex]

Required

Fill in the gaps

For Line 1, convert both fraction to a denominator of 6.

This is shown below:

[tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{?} - \frac{?}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{2}*\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} *\frac{3}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2*2}{2*3} - \frac{1*3}{2*3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{6} - \frac{3}{6}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{6} - \frac{3}{6}[/tex]

For Line 2;

We have:

[tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{6} - \frac{3}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4-3}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the chair can be represented as a function of the height of table, if there is a constant variation between both heights. That is as one height increases, the other height decreases at the same proportion.

From the table, as the table height increases from 71 to 72 to 74 to 75, the chair height increases from 42 to 43 to 44 to 46. There is a direct variation but it is not constant. From 71 to 72, the height of table increases by 1 cm but from 74 to 75, the height increases by 2 cm.

Hence the height of the chair can not be represented as a function of the height of table

The personnel files of all eight employees at the Pawnee location of Acme Carpet Cleaners Inc. revealed that during the last six-month period they lost the following number of days due to illness:
3 1 0 0 2 11 5 3

All eight employees during the same period at the Chickpee location of Acme Carpets revealed they lost the following number of days due to illness:
3 6 8 4 4 5 3 1

a. Calculate the range, mean and mean deviations for the Pawnee location and the Chickpee location. (Round mean and mean deviation to 2 decimal places.) Pawnee location Chickpee location Range Mean
b. Based on the sample data, which location has fewer lost days?
c. Based on the sample data, which location has less variation?

Answers

Answer:

a) For Pawnee:

Range = 11, Mean = 3.13, Mean deviation = 2.44

For Chickpee:

Range =  7, Mean = 4.25, Mean deviation = 1.59

b) Pawnee Location has fewer lost days.

c) variation of the Chickpee is less than Pawnee location

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

For Pawnee:

3 1 0 0 2 11 5 3

Max = 11

Min = 0

Range = Max - Min

Range = 11-0 = 11

Range = 11

For Chickpee:

3 6 8 4 4 5 3 1

Max = 8

Min = 1

Range = Max - Min

Range = 8 - 1

Range = 7

For mean of Pawnee:

Mean = (3 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 11 + 5 + 3)/8

Mean = 25/8

Mean = 3.125

For mean deviation, we find the difference from the mean of each point.

Note: all the negative values will be taken as 0.

Differences from the mean of each point =

(3-3.13)=0.13, (1-3.31) = 2.13 ,

(0-3.13)=0, (0-3.13)=3.13,

(2-3.13)=1.13, (11-3.13)=7.87,

(5-3.13)=1.87, (3-3.13)=0.13

So, our differences are:

(0.13, 2.13, 0, 3.13, 1.13, 7.87, 1.87, 0.13 )

Mean deviation =  Sum of all differences/8

Mean deviation = (0.13+2.13+3.13+3.13+ 1.13+ 7.87+ 1.87+ 0.13)/8

Mean deviation = 2.44

For mean of Chickpee:

Mean = (3+6+8+4+4+5+3+1)/8

Mean = 34/8

Mean = 4.25

Similarly, we need to find mean deviation for Chickpee, for that we need to find the differences first as done above for Pawnee.

Note: all the negative values will be taken as 0

Differences from the mean:

(3-4.25) = 1.25, (6-4.25) =1.75,

(8-4.25) = 3.75, (4-4.25)=0.25,

(4-4.25)=0.25, (5-4.25)= 0.75,

(3-4.25)=1.25, (1-4.25) =3.25

So, the differences are:

Differences = (1.25,1.75,3.75,0.25,0.25,0.75,1.25,3.25)

Mean deviation = (1.25+ 1.75+ 3.75+ 0.25+ 0.25+ 0.75+ 1.25+ 3.25)/8

Mean deviation = 1.59

b) which location has fewer lost days:

This can be found out by the total number of days of Pawnee and chickpee.

Pawnee = Sum of values = (3 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 11 + 5 + 3) = 25 days

Chickpee = Sum of values = (3+6+8+4+4+5+3+1) = 34 days

Hence, Pawnee Location has fewer lost days.

C) which location has less variation?

Formula for variation = ∑([tex]\frac{x^{2} }{8}[/tex]) - ([tex]mean^{2}[/tex])

where x = values of the set.

For Pawnee:

[tex]mean^{2}[/tex] = [tex]3.13^{2}[/tex] = 9.8

Sum of square of all the data points of Pawnee = 169

Variation = 169/8 - 98 = 11.325

Similarly,

For Chickpee:

[tex]mean^{2}[/tex]  = [tex]4.25^{2}[/tex] = 18.06

Sum of square of all the data points of Chickpee = 176

Variation = 176/8 - 18.06

Variation = 22-18.06

Variation = 4

Hence, variation of the Chickpee is less than Pawnee location

One quarter of my weekly allowance is $1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

1500×4 (since the 1500 is only a quarter)

6,000 per week

6,000x52(since 52 weeks in a year)

312,000

1) holy guacamole that’s a lot of money

2) If $1500 is 1/4 of your weekly allowance than your total weekly allowance would be 1500 x 4 which is $6000

There’s 52 weeks in a year
6000 x 52= 312,000

So your yearly allowance is $312,000

Two siblings are racing. The older sibling can run at a constant speed of 11 feet per second. The younger sibling can run at a constant speed of 7 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation: this is what it told me the answer was

Answer:

The older sibling will catch the younger sibling after 8 second(s) and running 88 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Older Sibling:  11ft  22ft  33ft  44ft  55ft  66ft  77ft  88ft

Younger Sibling: 32ft  39ft  46ft  53ft  60ft  67ft  74ft  81ft

The younger sibling started at 32ft because of the headstart.  Each number was after 1 second. So this means it took 8 seconds for the older sibling to get to 88ft, and it took 8 seconds to get the younger sibling to 81ft.

Determine whether the points on the line rise, fall, are horizontal, or vertical.
(2, -4) and (4, -1)

Answers

Answer:

The points rise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on a line have the following format: (x,y)

They rise if: As x increases, so does y.

They fall if: As x increases, y decreases.

They are horizontal if: As x increases, y remains constant.

They are vertical if: x is constant as y changes.

In this question:

Points (2,-4) and (4,-1).

x increases from 2 to 4.

y increases from -4 to -1.

That is, both increase, so the points rise.
