Lets consider SAM's age is 'x' and Hank's age is 'y'
So as per given data Sam's age is 5/3 times of Hank's age
so x = 5/3 * y
3x = 5y --> equation 1
and also sum of their ages is 24
so, x + y = 24
we need to find Hank's age (y)
so x = 24 - y
Now replace x value in equation 1
3(24-y) = 5y
72-3y = 5y
72 = 3y+5y
8y= 72
y= 72/8
y = 9 years.
So the Hank's age is 9 years

Step-by-step explanation:
£480 = 120% (after adding the 20% VAT).
we want to know how much 100% is.
he do we get from 120% to 100% ?
first the formal long way
£480 = 120%
1% = 120%/120 = 480/120 = £4
100% = 1% × 100 = 4×100 = £400
once you understand this mechanism, you can apply the direct shortcut :
£480 / 1.2 = £400
as a multiplication with 100/120 is the same as a division by 120/100, which is 1.2.
and what we did at the beginning in long form was nothing else than
£480 × 100/120 = 480 × 10/12 = 480 × 5/6 = £400
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
so 8(2)=16=5x-4
5x=20
x=4
so B
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached picture and I hope I have given the right answer.
Answer:
Angle 1: 168
Angle 2: 12
Explanation:
I did the math! basically, i did 168-156, and got 12. Then i added, 168+12, and got 180. So i know that both angles together make 180 degrees, which is the definition of supplementary angles.
