chita is 3 3/4 years younger than pablo. if you multiply chita's age by 4, the answer is 43. how old is pablo?
Pablo = x yrs old
Chita = (x - 3 3/4) yrs old
3 3/4 = 15/4,
4(x - 15/4) = 43,
4x - 15 = 43,
x = 14.5 yrs = Pablo's age.
To find out how old Pablo is, we can first determine Chita's age.
Let's say Chita's age is represented by x.
We are given that Chita is 3 3/4 years younger than Pablo, so we can write the equation:
x = p - 3 3/4
Next, we are told that if we multiply Chita's age by 4, the answer is 43. So we can write the equation:
4x = 43
Let's solve these equations step-by-step to find the value of x and then the age of Pablo.
1. Start with the equation 4x = 43.
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4x/4 = 43/4
Simplify:
x = 10 3/4
So, Chita is 10 3/4 years old.
2. Now, substitute the value of x back into the equation x = p - 3 3/4.
10 3/4 = p - 3 3/4
Add 3 3/4 to both sides of the equation:
10 3/4 + 3 3/4 = p - 3 3/4 + 3 3/4
Simplify:
14 1/2 = p
Therefore, Pablo is 14 1/2 years old.
To find out how old Pablo is, let's break down the information given step by step:
1. We know that Chita is "3 3/4 years younger than Pablo." This means that if we add 3 3/4 years to Chita's age, we'll get Pablo's age.
2. We're also told that if we multiply Chita's age by 4, the result is 43.
Now, let's calculate Chita's age:
43 ÷ 4 = 10.75
So Chita's age is 10.75 years.
Next, let's find out Pablo's age:
Chita's age + 3 3/4 = Pablo's age
10.75 + 3 3/4 = 14.5
Therefore, Pablo is 14.5 years old.
