Akbar, Ali and Arman are 3 brothers. The ratio of Akbar's age to Arman's age is 1 : 2 and the ratio of Akbar's age to Ali's age

is 2 : 5. If the eldest boy is 10 years old, how old is the youngest one?

Answer:

The youngest one is 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Akbar's age to Ali's age is 2 : 5

= 2/5

The oldest = Ali

Hence, let's represent Akbar's age as y

2/5 = y/10

Cross Multiply

5y = 2 × 10

y = 20/5

y = 4 years old.

Akbar's age = 4 years old.

Akbar's age to Arman's age is 1 : 2

= 1/2

Hence, let's represent Arman's age as z

1/2 = 4/z

Cross Multiply

= z = 2 × 4

z = 8 years old

Arman's age = 8 years old.

Therefore, the age of the youngest = 4 years old.

Given that line s is perpendicular to line t, which statements must be true of the two lines? Check all that apply.
artcher [175]
The basis to respond this question are:

1) Perpedicular lines form a 90° angle between them.

2) The product of the slopes of two any perpendicular lines is - 1.

So, from that basic knowledge you can analyze each option:

<span>a.Lines s and t have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

TRUE. Tha comes the number 2 basic condition for the perpendicular lines.

slope_1 * slope_2 = - 1 => slope_1 = - 1 / slope_2, which is what opposite reciprocals means.

b.Lines s and t have the same slope.

FALSE. We have already stated the the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

c.The product of the slopes of s and t is equal to -1

TRUE: that is one of the basic statements that you need to know and handle.

d.The lines have the same steepness.

FALSE: the slope is a measure of steepness, so they have different steepness.

e.The lines have different y intercepts.

FALSE: the y intercepts may be equal or different. For example y = x + 2 and y = -x + 2 are perpendicular and both have the same y intercept, 2.

f.The lines never intersect.

FALSE: perpendicular lines always intersept (in a 90° angle).

g.The intersection of s and t forms right angle.

TRUE: right angle = 90°.

h.If the slope of s is 6, the slope of t is -6

FALSE. - 6 is not the opposite reciprocal of 6. The opposite reciprocal of 6 is - 1/6.

So, the right choices are a, c and g.

Ming used the calculations shown to find out how much he would spend on 6 pounds of ground beef if 10 pounds of ground beef cost
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

He determined pounds per dollar by dividing 10 by 25 but wrote the unit rate as a dollar value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}

Unit\ Price = 40\ cents

40\ cents * 6 = \$2.40

Required

Determine Ming's error

Ming's error is from here

\frac{10\ pounds}{\$25} = \frac{10\ pounds}{25} / \frac{\$25}{25} = \frac{0.4}{1}

He calculated the unit rate as pound per dollar.

So, after calculating the unit rate, the unit should be:

Unit\ Rate = 0.4\ pound/\$

But instead, he solved as:

Unit\ Rate = \$0.4/ pound

<em>Hence, (a) is correct</em>

Jennifer has a bag of chips that contains 2 red chips and 1 black chip. If she also has a fair die, what is the probability that
fredd [130]
<span> the probability that she rolls an odd number AND and pulls a red chip

so it is = Prob(odd no) * Prob(red chip)

Prob(odd no) for a fair die = 1/2

Prob(red chip) = red chip / total chip = 2/(2+1) = 2/3

so the ans is 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3
