Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the ratios = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12

Smallest share = 18 bags

Ratio of the smallest share = 3

Let the largest share = x

From the question

18 ------------ 3

x --------------5

Cross multiply

3x = 18 × 5

Dividing bothsides by 3

X = 18 × 5/ 3

X = 90 / 3

X = 30

Therefore.

The largest share = 30

What does the variable represent in the equation 6-8p=38

GalinKa [24]

Solving the equation $6-8p=38$ we get value of p = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of p in the equation $6-8p=38$

Solving to find value of p:

$6-8p=38\\Adding\,\,-6\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\6-8p-6=38-6\\-8p=32\\Divide\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,-8\\\frac{-8p}{-8}=\frac{32}{-8}\\p=-4$

So, solving the equation $6-8p=38$ we get value of p = -4

A triangle with sides of lengths 9, 22, and 24 is a right triangle

Leona [35]

Answer:

The statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

if the triangle is a right triangle

then

the triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

we have

$c=24\ units$

$a=9\ units$

$b=22\ units$

substitute

$24^{2}=9^{2}+22^{2}$

$576=81+484$

$576 \neq 565$

therefore

Is not a right triangle

The statement is false
