The ratio of inheritance is
.. sister : brother = 1.25 : 1 = 5 : 4

Then the sister receives 5/(5+4) = 5/9 of the total, $550,000.

Pls help???????? need to have an explanation also

Answer:

I would say the answer is 40 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason I say this is because if you write out the amount of cookies she can make with 6 cups of flour, you would get 30/6. 30 and 6 are both divisible by 6, so if you divided both by 6 you will get 5/1. 1 times 8 is 8, so if you multiply 5 by 8 you will get 40 cookies.

Hope this helped!

A number a decreased by 7 is 2.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first convert this to numbers. When a number is decreased by a certain amount, that is the same as saying that something is subtracted from it. Therefore:

a-7=2

Add 7 to both sides:

a-7+7=2+7

a=9

To solve, simply do this:

$(\frac{1}{2}^3)-(\frac{3}{4} )^2\\\\\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{2} \\\\\frac{1}{8} -(\frac{3}{4})^2\\\\\frac{1}{8}-\frac{9}{16}\\\\=\frac{-7}{16}$

Then you'll get the answer, -7/16
