Mr.jeff divided his money in the ratio 4:2 between Jon and jack Jon got the smaller amount of $1,256 how much did jack get?

1 answer:

6 0

Ratio in which Mr.Jeff divided his money between Jack and Jon = 4:2
Let us assume the common ration to be = x
The amount of money that Jon got = $1256
Then
2x = 1256
x = 1256/2
= 628
Then
The amount of money that Jon got = 4 * 628 dollars
= 2512 dollars
So the amount that Jack got is $2512. As Jack got the major or the bigger share of the money, so the answer is correct. I hope the procedure for solving the question is also easy for you to understand.

Which graph represents exponential decay?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(d) -- see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph that shows exponential decay is one that tends toward a horizontal asymptote as x gets large.

A basic (parent) exponential decay curve is concave upward and tends toward zero as x gets large. The fractional change in any interval is the same as for any other interval of equal size. The curve attached decreases by a factor of 2 when x increases by 1.
