the sum of the present ages of A and B is 60 years.5 years hence their ages will be in the ratio 4:3.What were their ages 5 years ago? please show the working

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A= 30 years old

B= 20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of A be x years old.

Since the sum of the present ages of A and B is 60 years,

present age of B= (60-x) years old

In 5 years

A= x +5

B= 60 -x +5= 65-x

Since the ratio of A:B= 4:3,

A would represent 4 units and B would represent 3 units.

Thus [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]A=B

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex](x+5)= 65 -x

[tex] \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{15}{4} = 65 - x \\ \frac{3}{4} x + x = 65 - \frac{15}{4} \\ \frac{7}{4} x = 61.25 \\ 7x = 61.25 \times 4 \\ 7x = 245 \\ x = 245 \div 7 \\ x = 35[/tex]

Thus, present age of A

= x

= 35 years old

present age of B

= 60 -x

= 60 -35

= 25 years old

5 years ago

A= 35 -5= 30 years old

B= 25 -5= 20 years old

* under the section in 5 years, [tex]\frac{3}{4} A=B[/tex] because both would be equal to 3 units each. Since B is 3 units and A is 4 units, in order to make both value the same, we divide the 4 units of A by 4 then multiply by 3 to get 3 units. Thus, [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of A is equal to B.

Answers

Answer:

H = ½ B

B = A - 28

In a group of 42 students, 9 study both Art and Biology.
10 study Biology but not Art.
7 study neither subject.
Given that a randomly selected student studies Art, what is the probability the student studies Art and Biology?

Answers

Answer:

The probability the student studies Art and Biology is 0.2143.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

A = a students studies Art

B = a students studies Biology

The information provided is:

N = 42

n (A ∩ B) = 9

n (A' ∩ B) = 10

n (A' ∩ B') = 7

Then the number of students who study Art but not Biology is:

n (A ∩ B') = N - n (A ∩ B) - n (A' ∩ B) - n (A' ∩ B')

               [tex]=42-10-7-9\\\\=16[/tex]

The number of students who study Art but not Biology is 16.

Compute the probability the student studies Art and Biology as follows:

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\frac{n (A\cap B)}{N}[/tex]

               [tex]=\frac{9}{42}\\\\=\frac{3}{14}\\\\=0.2143[/tex]

Thus, the probability the student studies Art and Biology is 0.2143.

Two numbers add to 200. The first is 20 less than the second. What are the numbers?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the first number x.

We can write an equation representing the problem using x:

x+x+20=200 (because the second number is 20 more than the first, or x)

Combine like terms: 2x+20=200

Subtract 20 from each side of the equation: 2x=180

Divide by 2: x=90

The first number is 90, the second number is 110.

14.  Each leg is   [tex]21\sqrt{2}[/tex]  units long.

15 (a). The longer leg is [tex]7\sqrt{3}[/tex]  units long

15 (b). The hypotenuse is [tex]14[/tex] units long

=====================================================

Explanations:

For a 45 degree right triangle, aka 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is equal to sqrt(2) times the short leg. Algebraically we can say

[tex]y = x\sqrt{2}[/tex] where x is the leg and y is the hypotenuse

Let's solve for x

[tex]y = x\sqrt{2}\\\\x\sqrt{2} = y\\\\x = \frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\x = \frac{y\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}} \ \text{rationalizing denominator}\\\\x = \frac{y\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\[/tex]

Now plug in the given hypotenuse y = 42, this leads to,

[tex]x = \frac{y\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{42\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{42}{2}\sqrt{2}\\\\x = 21\sqrt{2}\\\\[/tex]

---------------------------

For a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is double that of the short leg. So the hypotenuse is 2*7 = 14.

The longer leg is equal to sqrt(3) times the short leg. The longer leg is [tex]7\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Dos motos, A y B, toman la salida en una carrera de 90 km. La moto A realiza el recorrido con una velocidad media inferior en 20 km/h a la de la moto B, con lo que llega a la meta 3 minutos después que B. Calcula la velocidad de cada moto.

Answers

Answer:

motorcycle A: 180 km/h

motorcycle B: 200 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we need to write a system of equations for A and B, using the equation:

distance = speed * time

The speed of A is 20 less than the speed of B, so:

speedA = speedB - 20

And the time A traveled is 3 minutes (0.05 hours) more than B's time, so:

timeA = timeB + 0.05

Then, using the distance equation, we have that:

distanceB = speedB * timeB

90 = speedB * timeB

distanceA = speedA * timeA

90 = (speedB - 20) * (timeB + 0.05)

90 = speedB * timeB + 0.05 * speedB - 20*timeB - 1

90 = 90 + 0.05 * speedB - 20*timeB - 1

20*timeB = 0.05 * speedB - 1

timeB = (speedB - 20)/400

using this timeB in the distance equation, we have:

90 = speedB * (speedB - 20)/400

90 * 400 = speedB^2 - 20*speedB

speedB^2 - 20*speedB - 36000 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation, we have speedB = 200 km/h

And the speedA is:

speedA = speedB - 20 = 200 - 20 = 180 km/h

Explain why a sample of 30 dentists from a large city taken to estimate the median income of all residents of that large city is not representative

Answers

Answer: Because all individuals in the sample have the same job, so the sample is biased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignoring the fact that 30 is a small sample for a large city, we already know that all the people in the sample has the same profession.

Now, we can expect that two dentists win have around the same income, but not all the residents in the city are dentists

A lot of them work in fast food, others may be lawyers, others may be freelancers.

We have a lot of jobs where the income does not coincide with the average income of a dentist, so with the sample of 30 dentists we are not actually representing all the other possible jobs that there are in the city.

If we want a sample that represents the income of all the residents, we should have a random sample (so the sample is not biased, like in this case).
