ART INTEGRATION ACTIVITY

1.The sum of two numbers is 25. One of the numbers exceeds the
other by 9. Find the numbers.

Solution:

Then the other number = x + 9

Let the number be x.

Sum of two numbers = 25

According to question, x + x + 9 = 25

⇒ 2x + 9 = 25

⇒ 2x = 25 - 9 (transposing 9 to the R.H.S changes to -9)

⇒ 2x = 16

⇒ 2x/2 = 16/2 (divide by 2 on both the sides)

⇒x=8

Therefore, x + 9 = 8 + 9 = 17

Therefore, the two numbers are 8 and 17.

2.The difference between the two numbers is 48. The ratio of the two
numbers is 7:3. What are the two numbers?

Solution:

Let the common ratio be x.

Let the common ratio be x.

Their difference = 48

According to the question,

7x - 3x = 48
⇒ 4x = 48

⇒ x = 48/4

⇒ x = 12

Therefore, 7x = 7 × 12 = 84

3x = 3 × 12 = 36

Therefore, the two numbers are 84 and 36.

3. Aaron is 5 years younger than Ron. Four years later, Ron will be twice
as old as Aaron. Find their present ages.

Solution:

Let Ron’s present age be x.

Then Aaron’s present age = x - 5

After 4 years Ron’s age = x + 4, Aaron’s age x - 5 + 4.

According to the question;

Ron will be twice as old as Aaron.

Therefore, x + 4 = 2(x - 5 + 4)

⇒ x + 4 = 2(x - 1)

⇒ x + 4 = 2x - 2

⇒ x + 4 = 2x - 2

⇒ x - 2x = -2 - 4

⇒ -x = -6

⇒x=6

Therefore, Aaron’s present age = x - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

Therefore, present age of Ron = 6 years and present age of Aaron =


1 year.
4. The sum of two consecutive multiples of 5 is 55. Find these
multiples.

Solution:

Let the first multiple of 5 be x.

Then the other multiple of 5 will be x + 5 and their sum = 55

Therefore, x + x + 5 = 55

⇒ 2x + 5 = 55

⇒ 2x = 55 - 5

⇒ 2x = 50

⇒ x = 50/2

⇒ x = 25

Therefore, the multiples of 5, i.e., x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30

Therefore, the two consecutive multiples of 5 whose sum is


55 are 25 and 30.

5. If 3/5 ᵗʰ of a number is 4 more than 1/2 the number, then


what is the number?

Solution:

Let the number be x, then 3/5 ᵗʰ of the number = 3x/5

Also, 1/2 of the number = x/2

According to the question,

3/5 ᵗʰ of the number is 4 more than 1/2 of the number.

⇒ 3x/5 - x/2 = 4
⇒ (6x - 5x)/10 = 4

⇒ x/10 = 4

⇒ x = 40

The required number is 40.

6. The sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888. Find


the multiples. Let the three consecutive multiples of 8 be

Solution:

x, (x + 8) and (x + 16)

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 8 is 888.

Then, we have

x + (x + 8) + (x + 16) = 888

3x + 24 = 888

Subtract 24 from each side.

3x = 864

Divide each side by 24.

x = 288

Then,

x + 8 = 288 + 8 = 296

x + 16 = 288 + 16 = 304

So, the three consecutive multiples of 8 are 288, 296, and 304.
7. The ages of John and David are in the ratio 5 : 7. Four
years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years. What
are their present ages ?

Solution:

The ages of John and David are in the ratio 5 : 7.

Then, the present ages of John and David are

5x and 7x

Four years later the sum of their ages will be 56 years.

Then, we have

(5x + 4) + (7x + 4) = 56

Simplify and solve for x.

12x + 8 = 56

Subtract 8 from each side.

12x = 48

Divide each side by 12.

x = 4

Age of John is

5x = 5(4)

5x = 20

Age of David is
7x = 7(4)

7x = 28

So, the present ages of John and David are 20 years and 28 years
respectively.
