Answer:Scott is over 3 times older that Kate

Explanation:

Kate is 3 years old. Her brother, Scott is 10 years old.

A) The ratio of Scott's age to Kate's age would be Scott's age divided by Kate's age. It becomes

10/3

B) To determine how many times older than Kate is Scott, we would express the ratio of their ages in decimal. Therefore

10/3 = 3.33

Therefore, Scott is over 3 times older that Kate
