Well every time it gets rid of a shell it grows 1 1/3 times larger. So so to see how much it grows after the first time you say
1 cm * 1 1/3 = 1 1/3 cm

to get the next one you do the same
1 1/3 cm * 1 1/3 cm = 16/9

It will keep going multiplying by 1 1/3. So so we can say in an equation that the
(initial size) * 1 1/3 *(number of shells) = length

Or 1cm * 1 1/3 * n = L

We we know the final length is 10cm

So 1 1/3 * n = 10cm

n = 7.5shells

so approximately 7 or 8 shells

Answer:

Let me take 2,3,3 be 2x, 3x, 3x

Colin = 2x

Natasha = 3x

Angad = 3x

The equation forms to find out the value of x

2x + 3x + 3x = 48

=> 8x = 48

=> x = 48/8

=> x = 6

So share of Colin = 2x = £(2×6) = £12

Share of Natasha = 3x = £(3×6) = £18

share of Angad = 3x = £(3×6) = £18

For proof

£12 + £18 + £18 = £48

Hope it helps

1)) An angle measures 132° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

156° and 24°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it's supplementary angle be x.

So, the angle = (x - 132)°

As we know, sum of supplementary angles is 180°;

x + x - 132 = 180

2x = 180 + 132

2x = 312

x = 312/2

x = 156°

(x-132)° = (156-132)° = 24°

Hence, the angles are 156° and 24°.
