Answer:

The coordinates of point X are (-11/2, 5/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of X , we shall apply the midpoint formula;

Mathematically, that would be;

(x , y) = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2

From the question

x1 = -3 , x2 = -8

y1 = 1 , y2 = 4

So substituting these values, we have;

(x ,y) = (-3-8)/2, (1 + 4)/2

(x ,y) = -11/2, 5/2

Ashley and Keely shared some Hershey Kisses in the ratio of 5:2. If Keely had 12 Hershey Kisses, how many did Ashley have?

Answer:

Ashely had 30 kisses! Muah!

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of Ashely to Keely is 5 : 2 and we know Keely had 12. Keely represents the 2 in this ratio, and how do we get from 2 to 12? We multiply by 6. We have to multiply by 6 on the other side too then. 5 times 6 is 30, so Ashely had 30 hershey kisses.

In real life, not in ratio form, Ashely had 30 kisses and Keely had 12.
