question
how would you solve this problem
the ratio of *name*'s age to his brother's is 2:3. In ten years, the ratio would be 4:5. How old is *name* and his brother now and in 10 years?
also how would you solve it if the ratio changed to something different, ex: 1:3 to 3:5 in 10 years

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

*name* is 10 years old now and brother is 15 years now

In 10 years they would be 20 and 25 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = *name*'s age now

let y = brother's age now

The first relationship is that the ratio of their ages now is 2:3 or, in fraction form 2/3

That means x/y = 2/3

Cross multiply => 3x = 2y =>

3x - 2y = 0   [1]

10 years from now x would become x + 10 years, y would become y + 10 years and the new ratio is 4/5

So (x + 10)/(y+10 = 4/5

Cross-multiply

5(x + 10) = 4(y + 10)

5x + 50 = 4y + 40

Subtract 4y from both sides

5x + 50 -4y = 40

and subtract 50 from both sides:

5x - 4y = 40 - 50

5x -4y = -10  [2]

Eliminate y terms by multiplying [1] by 2 and subtracting [1] from that

[1] x 2

=> 2(3x - 2y) = 2 x 0

=> 6x - 4y = 0  [3]

[3] - [2]

6x - 4y - (5x -4y) = 0 - (-10)

6x - 4y -5x + 4y = 10

x = 10

Using equation [1] we get

x/y = 2/3

=> 10/y = 2/3

10 x 3/2 = y

5 x 3 = y

y = 15

So their ages are 10 and 15 now.

In 10 years they would be 20 and 25

If the ratios change we would have a different set of equations to solve for

For example if the current ratio is 1/3

Then we would get x/y = 1/3

or 3x - y = 0  [4]

and if 10 years from now the ratio is 3/5 then

(x + 10)/(y + 10) = 3/5

=> 5(x+10) = 3(y + 10)

=> 5x + 50 = 3y + 30

=> 5x - 3y = -20  [5]

And we would solve these equations to get x and y in a similar mannter

FYI the answers would be
x = 5, y = 15

Jane is saving money to buy a game. The game costs $20, and so far she has saved four-fifths of this cost. How much money has Jane saved?

Answers

Answer:

she has 16$ saved

Step-by-step explanation:

20 divided 5 = 4

4 fifths of 20 is 16

Answer: $16

To do this problem you need to first find out how much 1/5th of 20 is. Which we can do by multiplying 20 x 1/5 which will give us 4. Since $4 is 1/5 of the total amount and we need 4/5th this value, we can multiply 4 x 4 to get $16 saved in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1. x >= 4

2. x /= -4

3. The first one

4. The second one

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since the bolded arrow is pointing to numbers greater than 4, we can tell that x is greater than 4. The dot on the number 4 is colored, meaning that four is included, thus x is greater than or equal to 4.

2. Since the bolded areas are on every point on the graph except -4, we can tell that x is every number but -4, thus x is not equal to -4.

3. The sign "<" indicates that x is less than 3. This eliminates the second option. Since there is no equal to sign, the dot isn't colored, thus, the first one.

4. The sign "<=" indicates that x is less than or equal to -1, eliminating the third option. Since it is equal to, the dot should be colored, thus, the second one.

if you look at the line you'll see it takes 4 x's to = 1 y, every time you go right 1 you go up 4

Answer:

The slope is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Slope can also be found by using the formula, Y2-Y1/X2-X1

In this case, our first point is the origin, so x would be 0 and y would be 0. On the second point, our x is -1, and our y is -4.

So, we can make the solution, -4-0/-1-0.

You can simplify this into, -4/-1, and then into 4.

Therefore, the slope is 4.

Step 2:

M is our slope, so in our y=mx equation our m = 4.

If you substitute in the m, you get y=4x.

Answer:

y=4x.

WORTH 50 POINTS!!!!!!!!!! a gardener made a scale drawing of a lawn with a scale factor of 1:15. the dimensions of his garden are 6 inches long by 3 inches wide. his partner plans to make another scale drawing of the lawn, but with a scale of 1:5
. what are the dimensions of his scale drawing?

Answers

Answer:

D. the length is 18 inches and the width is 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Scale = 1 : 15.Dimensions of the lawn in the scale drawing = 6 in × 3 in.

Therefore, to find the actual dimensions of the lawn, multiply the given scale dimensions by 15:

⇒ Length = 6 × 15 = 90 in

⇒ Width = 3 × 15 = 45 in

If the gardener's partner plans to make another scale drawing of the lawn with a different scale of 1 : 5, to find the dimensions of his scale drawing, divide the actual dimensions by 5:

⇒ Length = 90 ÷ 5 = 18 in

⇒ Width = 45 ÷ 5 = 9 in

Therefore, the dimensions of his scale drawing are the length is 18 inches and the width is 9 inches.

An alternative way to approach this problem is to calculate the difference between the two scales.  It is clear that the original scale of 1 : 15 is 3 times the new scale of 1 : 5.  Therefore, simply multiply the original dimensions by 3 to find then new dimensions of the scale drawing with a scale of 1 :5.

For this equation the easiest thing to start with ratios:

For the y-2 to find y you first will put 8/4 (your scaling back), so 2 so 4-2 would be 2 which makes that equal to y.

Slope = Rise/Run
Using the two points, rise (y) = 4 and run (x) = 2, so the slope is 2.

You can also use the slope formula:

Rise over run so it’s 4 over 2 the 4 is the rise (y)
And the 2 is the run (x)
You can simplify 4/2 with 2 so you just divide 4 divided by 2 which is 2
Then 2 divided by 2 is 1

Which then gives you 2/1 which is just 2
