Mike is 19.
If you turn the question into an equation it turns to:
J x 2 - 3 = M
So since you don’t know Jasmine’s age you would use guess and check. 8,9, and 10 didn’t work but when you put in 11:
11 x 2 - 3 = M
22 - 3 = M
19 = M
And to check your work
J + M has to equal 30 so,
11 + 19 = 30
30 = 30
Mel moves 50-35=15 feet in 5-2=3 seconds. Descent rate=15/3=5 ft/sec.
Victor moves 60-50=10 feet in 4-1=3 seconds. Descent rate=10/3=3⅓ ft/sec. Mel is faster at 5 ft/sec.
It would be 2 O'clock. Have a great day!!
I’m just going off of what I was told in fifth grade, and we were told it was finger nails. Hope this helps!
