John and rachel share £2400 prize money at a ratio of 2:4. How much do they each get?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Stels [109]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: John:£800

Rachel:£1600


Step-by-step explanation:

Since John and Rachel shared £2400 in the ratio 2:4, it means that £2400 was equal to(2+4) units, which is 6 units.

Thus, each unit is £2400/6= £400

Hence, John got £400x2=£800, and Rachel got £400x4=1600.

Hope u understand my solution. :)

69) Half-way to the center of a planet of uniform density, your weight compared to that at the surface would be :
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

One- half

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the density is uniform  

Mass of the sphere = [(4/3) π r^3] d

where d is the uniform density.

Mass of the sphere = [(4/3) π d] r^3 = k r^3

where k = [(4/3) π d] is a constant  

Weight = mg = G m M / r^2 = G m [k r^3] /r^2 = G m k r

Using Gauss’ law for gravitation,

Half way to the center of a planet the weight is only due to the inner sphere and the outer sphere does not contribute to his weight,  

Inside his weight is mg’ = (G m k  r) /2   = mg/2  

Answer is one-half.

A rectangular room is 1.2 1.2 times as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 35 35 meters. Find the dimension of the room.
Westkost [7]

Answer:

I. Length, L = 9.552 meters

II. Width, W = 7.96 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = L

Let the width = W

Given the following data;

Perimeter = 35 m

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

Length = 1.2W

To find the dimension of the room;

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;

P = 2(L + W)

Substituting into the formula, we have;

35 = 2(1.2W + W)

35 = 2(2.2W)

35 = 4.4W

Width, W = 7.96 meters

Next, we would find the length of the rectangle;

L = 1.2*W

L = 1.2 * 7.96

Length, L = 9.552 meters

the sum of three numbers is 55. the second number is twice the first and the third number is five less than the second. What are
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Let the first number be = x

Then the second number = 2x

The third number = 2x - 5

Their sum = 55

This can be written in an equation as =

x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55

= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )

= x + 2x + 2x = 60

= 5x = 60

= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )

= x = 12

The first number = x = 12

The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24

The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .

A circle has a circumfernce of 6. It has an arc length of 1
fomenos

Answer:

The circumference formula for a circle is C=πd where C is the circumference, d is the diameter of the circle and π is a constant. If you plug in 6 for C and solve the equation for d like:

6= πd and then divide both sides of the equation by π you get that d = 1.90

To find the central angle of an arc you would use the equation S = rθ where S is the length of the arc, r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the measure of the angle which in this case is unknown. So with S = 1 and r = d/2 = 1.90/2 = 0.9549 you would have an equation that looks like this:

1 = 0.9549θ.  

If you divide both sides of the equation by 0.9549 you get θ = 1.047197 radians.  

The question asked for the angle measure in degrees so you would need to convert the angle measure to degrees by multiplying the degree measurement by 180/π

1.047197 x 180/π =  60°
