THIS IS CALLED YOUR HOMEWORK

WHICH IS MATH

Answer 2

1. Average height is 13 feet 4 inches / 2 = 6 feet 8 inches.

    Each is one inch off of the average height.

    Scott is 6 feet 9 inches.

    Tyrone is 6 feet 7 inches.

     Test the result by adding them together again = 12 feet 16 inches or 13 feet 4 inches.

2. Bus 1  (2/3) * (maximum capacity) = (2/3) * 48 = 96/3 = 32 people on bus 1.

    Bus 2 is 1/4 empty or 3/4 full.

    Do it the same way. (3/4) * 48 = 144/4 = 36 people on bus 2.

    Bus 3. Convert percent to fraction and then do the same.

    87.5% * (100/100 per percent) = 87.5/100. Simplify = 7/8

    (7/8) * 48 = 336/8 = 42 people on bus 3.

3. Jason's age is x. Grandfather's age is then 4x.

    x + 4x = 80. 5x = 80. Divide both sides by 5. 5x/5 = 80/5

    x = 16. Jason is 16 years old.

Answer 3

1) scott is 6'9 and tyrone is 6'7

2) 2/3 + 1/4 + 7/8=2/3 + 9/8=16/24+27/24=1 19/24

1 19/24= 48 + 38= 86 people

3) jason is 16 and his grandpa is 64

Answer 4

note

s + t = 13'4"

s = t + 2"

t + 2" + 1 = 13'4"

2t = 13'2"

2t = 158"

t = 79"

t = 6'7"
