The total amount of Mrs. Spring's estate is $200,000

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

A fraction is written in the form of a numerator and a denominator where the denominator is greater than the numerator.

Example: 1/2, 1/3 is a fraction.

We have,

Let the total estate = 100x

Share left with Sam = 50x

Remaining share = 50x

Now,

Share left with cousin Fred = 1/2 of 50x = 25x

Remaining  share = 25x

Share left with nephew Bill = 1/2 x (25x) = 12.5x

Remaining share = 12.5x

Share left with the care of the cat Chester = 12.5x

12.5x = $25,000

Now,

12.5x = $25,000

Multiply with 100/12.5 on both sides.

100/12.5 x 12.5x = 100/12.5 x $25,000

100x = $200,000

Thus,

The total amount of Mrs. Spring's estate is $200,000

Find f(b-2) if f(x) = x^2-6x+1
jasenka [17]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

The equivalent expression is ~

  • f(b - 2) =  {b}^{2}  - 10b + 17

\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}

Let's evaluate f(b - 2) ~

  • f(x) =  {x}^{2}  - 6x + 1

  • f(b - 2) = (b - 2) {}^{2}  -6 (b - 2) + 1

  • \mathcal{ {f(b - 2) =  {b}^{2}   +  2 {}^{2}  - (2 \times b \times 2) - 6b + 12}}

  • f(b - 2) =  {b}^{2}   + 4 - 4b - 6b + 12 + 1

  • f(b - 2) =  {b}^{2}  - 10b + 17

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The area of the floor space is equal to 5.83 sq yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Each row requires a section of floor that is 1 ¾ yards by 3 ⅓ yards.

We need to find how many square yards of floor space are taken up by one row of cheerleaders.

We know that, the area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

So,

A=\dfrac{7}{4}\times \dfrac{10}{3}\\\\A=5.83\ yards^2

So, the area of the floor space is equal to 5.83 sq yards.
