In Siri's coin purse, she has 6 dimes and 4 quarters. Martha has 5 dimes and 3 quarters. Siri thinks that the ratio of dimes to

quarters in both purses is the same because they each have 2 more quarters than dimes. Is the same ratio of dimes to quarters maintained? Justify your response.

Answer:

The ratios are not equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To justify the answer we will assume the dimes and quarters.

Let number of dimes be denoted by 'x'.

Let number of quarters denoted by 'y'.

In Siri's coin purse

Number of dimes (x) = 6

Number of quarters (y) = 4

Therefore ratio of quarter to dimes we get;

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{6}{4} ⇒ equation 1.

In Martha Coin purse.

Number of dimes (x) = 5

Number of quarters (y) = 3

Therefore ratio of quarter to dimes we get;

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{3} ⇒ equation 2.

Now we will check if both have the same ratios.

We will check by making both equation 1 and equation 2 equal.

\frac{6}{4}=\frac{5}{3}

By cross multiplication we get;

18\neq 20

Hence the ratios are not equal.

I need to know if the answer to number 9. Is correct
slava [35]
The answer to number 9 would be 43. 

Since it tells you that there is a straight angle that would equal 180. So I added up 61 30 and 46. I got 137. Then subtracted 137 from 180 and got 43.

A and B are partner in a business .A contribution RS 20000 and B rs 30000 a however acts as a manager the understanding being th
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Rs 1,650

Step-by-step explanation:

The given contribution are;

<em>A</em> contributes Rs 20,000, and <em>B</em> contributes Rs 30,000

The percentage of the profit <em>A</em> receives as manager = 25%

The amount of the profit divided in the ratio of their contribution = The remaining profit (75%)

The amount <em>B</em> gets = Rs1,350

The amount <em>A</em> gets = required

The ratio of their contribution at which the remaining profit is shared = 20,000:30,000 = 2:3

Where, out of 5 parts of 75% of the profits, <em>B</em> gets 3, while <em>A</em> gets 2

Let <em>P</em> represent the profit, we have;

B's share = 3/5× 0.75 × P = 1,350

∴ P = (5 × 1,350/3)/0.75 = 3,000

<em>A</em> gets 25% of the profits and 2/5 of the 75% remaining profit

∴ The amount <em>A</em> gets = 0.25×3000 + (2/5)×0.75×3000 = 1,650

Or simply put;

<em>A</em> gets the remainder of the profit which is Rs 3,000 - Rs 1,350 = Rs 1,650
