Answer:
The sum of money received by Ali, Carrie and Bryan is $ 740.
Step-by-step explanation:
At first we translate mathematically each sentence:
(i) <em>Ali, Carrie and Bryan received a sum of money. </em>
- Ali's money.
- Bryan's money.
- Carrie's money.
(ii) <em>Bryan's money was </em>
<em> of Ali's money</em>.
(1)
(iii) <em>The ratio of Ali's money to Carrie's money was 4 : 1</em>.
(2)
(iv) <em>Ali had $ 160 more than Bryan</em>.
(3)
After some algebraic handling, we have the following system of linear equations:
(1b)
(2b)
(3b)
The solution of the system is: 
, 
, 
The sum of money is:
The sum of money received by Ali, Carrie and Bryan is $ 740.
Answer:
2.4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total work = X
Rate of work done = X ÷ time
Rate of A = X/4
Rate of B = X/6
If they work together, rate is the sum of their individual rates, i.e.
X/4 + X/6
= (3X + 2X)/12 (taking LCM)
=5X/12
Rate = X/time
5X/12 = X/time
time = X÷(5X/12)
time = X × 12/(5X)
time = 2.4 hours
Shortcut:
Product of individual times/sum of individual times
= (4×6)/(4+6)
=24/10
=2.4 hours
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of any triangle could be always calculated as base length multiplied by the height perpendicular to the aforementioned base divided by 2. Therefore:
A = 18 * 11 / 2 = 198 / 2 = 99
