A mother is now 2 1/2 times old as her daughter Mary. Four years ago the ratio of their ages was 3:1. Find the present age of the mother.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The present age of the mother is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the mother be M and that of the daughter D. Given that the mother is now 2 1/2 times old as her daughter Mary then

M = 2.5D

Given that Four years ago the ratio of their ages was 3:1

The mother's age 4 years ago was

= M - 4

and that of the daughter then was

= D - 4

Hence

(M - 4)/(D - 4) = 3/1

Cross multiply

M - 4 = 3(D - 4)

M - 4  = 3D - 12

M = 3D - 12 + 4

M = 3D - 8

Substitute into the first equation

3D - 8 = 2.5D

3D -2.5D = 8

0.5D = 8

D = 8/0.5

= 16 Years

M = 2.5D

M = 2.5 * 16

= 40 Years

A tree is 15 feet tall and casts a shadow of 9 feet. How long is the shadow of a tree 25 feet tall?

Answers

I’m not sure if this is right but I would try to think of the question as a ratio. 15ft casts a 9ft shadow (15:9). But u want to find out the length of the shadow when the tree is 25ft. The initial ratio can be divided by 3 (5:3) this makes it easier to get the 25ft tree and it’s shadow equivalent. 25/5=5 so a 25ft would cast a 15ft shadow

Answer:15ft shadow

Answer:

The shadow is 15 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion question.  Build a proportion using two fractions.

[tex]\frac{\text{tree height}}{\text{shadow length}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15}{9}=\frac{25}{x}[/tex]

"Cross-multiply" -- you might know this as the Means-Extremes Property of Proportions.

[tex]15x=(25)(9)\\15x=225\\x=15[/tex]

A triangle has angle measurements of 56°, 54°, and 70°. What kind of triangle is it?

Answers

Answer:

Right, I am an idiot so i might be wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle has three angles which sum to 180 degrees.

There are three types of triangles based on the measures of its angles.

Right Triangle - Has one 90 degree angle

Acute Triangle - All angles less than 90 degrees

Obtuse Triangle - One angle greater than 90 degrees

In this example we are given 2 angles and must find the measure of the 3rd.

a + 56 + 34 = 180

a + 90 = 180

a = 90

Therefore, it is a Right Triangle.

Simplify this expression by combining the like terms

Answers

In this problem “like terms” has two groups: one with a number and y, and one with just numbers. First I’ll rewrite the equation with the terms in a different order, grouped with like terms. Then we’ll do the math for them:

7y + 10 + 3y - 4 - 6y

= 7y + 3y - 6y + 10 - 4

= 10y - 6y + 6

= 4y + 6

Answer:

1st Option;

j = 4.5

k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for "j" first:

=> We know that by the definition of midpoint segment theorem we can say;

3j = 5j - 9

0 = 5j - 3j - 9

0 = 2j - 9

0 + 9 = 2j

9 = 2j

9/2 = j

4.5 = j

=> Now that we have j-value we use the same method to solve for k-value;

6k = k + 10

6k - k = 10

5k = 10

k = 10/5

k = 2

Therefore;

j = 4.5

k = 2

So the first option would be correct!

A map is created on a coordinated plane . Ty’s house is located( 7,8) and the library is located( 7,-6)How many blocks is it from Ty’s house to the library each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 block

Answers

Given:

Ty’s house is located ( 7,8) and the library is located ( 7,-6).

Each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 block.

To find:

The number of blocks from Ty’s house to the library.

Solution:

Distance formula:

[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

We need to find the distance between the two points ( 7,8) and ( 7,-6).

Using the distance formula, we get

[tex]D=\sqrt{(7-7)^2+(-6-8)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{(0)^2+(-14)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{196}[/tex]

[tex]D=14[/tex]

The distance between the two points ( 7,8) and ( 7,-6) is 14 units.

We know that, each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 block.

Therefore, there are 14 blocks from Ty’s house to the library.
