Answer:
James invested $160,000
Step-by-step explanation:
- In total, they needed $480,000 to start the business
- 1:2 ratio means one of them payed double the amount than the other
so the expression would be,
2x + x = 480,000
Let x represent how much they each need to invest
the expression can be simplified to,
3x = 480,000
now you need to get x alone, this would be done be dividing both sides by 3
James invest $160,000
Michael invest $160,000 x 2 = $320,000
and if you add them together, you get the total amount
$320,000 + $160,000 = $480,000

Answer:
720 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon with n sides is
180(n - 2) degrees.
In this case, n = 6 sides, so the angle sum is
180(6 - 2) = 180(4) = 720 degrees.
The reason this works is that if you draw a diagonal from one vertex to the others (see attached image), you get 2 fewer triangles than the number of sides. Each triangle contains a total of 180 degrees, so the total of all the interior angles is 180(n - 2).
