Jared is 10 years old and Peter is 15 years old. Together they run 150 yards. How far does each brother run. PLZZ EXPLAIN ANSWER THX ;)
is there any more information in the problem? The info you gave wouldn't be enough to solve the problem.
well
can you provide more info on this question.
on the previous question it explains that the run depends on the ratio of their ages for example, a boy who is twice as old as a girl runs twice as far but in this question the ratios are not half of each other so that is where i am confused?
like one of them says crystal is 12 years old and alexa is 6 years old. if crystal runs 100 yards, how far does alexa run? How far do they run a ltogether
the answer is obviously alexa runs 50 years since crystal runs 100 and crystal is half as more the age of alexa
soooo.... plzzz help with the previous question
peter is 1.5 times older than jared, so peter should run 1.5 times further than jared..
oh
so i guess j + 1.5j = 150
kk
can you solve it from there?
no im in 6 grade lol i started the sixth grade 3 months ago
so when you combine like terms you get 2.5j = 150 and to get j by itself, divide both sides by 2.5. so j = 60
jared ran 60 yards and to find how long peter ran just do 150 - 60
oh ok thats 90
yep
ok thx
can you give me a medal? :)
sure lol
lol thank you
