Divide 56 in a ratio of 5.3

1 answer:

8 0

In order to find what one part is in a ratio, you have to add the ratio up ( 5+ 3) and divide it by the number you're looking for (56). In this case, you get 56/8, which gives you 7. Therefore, each part is worth 7. You then have to multiply both sides of the ratio (5 and 3) by 7. 5x7= 35. 3x7= 21. Therefore, 56 divided into the ratio of 5:3 is 35:21

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a triangle is a line that from the vertex touches the middle lets eliminate options

a=ab starts at a vertex but doensn't touch a the middle of a line X

b=cd starts at a vertex and touches the middle of a line Ye

C= ce stars at a vertex but doesn't end at the middle of a line X

d=mb starts in the middle of the triangle and and ends a vertex X

<u>SO THE CORRECT ANSWER IS B</u>

Mrs.Silva orders 5 pizzas for every 20 students working on the campus clean up. How many pizzas should she order if 48 students

erica [24]

Answer:

She should order 12 pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 pizza for every 20 students gives us the ratio 5:20.

5/20 = 0.25 = the amount of pizza each student gets.

If there are 48 students, you would just multiply 0.25 * 48 to get your answer.

Three friends were eating chocolate chip cookies after school. Nacy ate four less than two times the amount of cookies that Kate

galben [10]

Let the number of cookies that kate eats be ‘n’
kate : n
nacy : 2n-4
avery : 2(2n-4)

n + 2n-4 + 2(2n+4) = 18
7n - 12 = 16
7n = 28
n = 4

kate : 4
nacy : 2x4 - 4 = 4
avery : 2(2x4 - 4) =8

Select the correct answer. This graph represents a quadratic function. What is the value of a in this function’s equation? A)-1

Schach [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the work form of a quadratic to determine what a is...in fact we will write the equation for the whole thing in the process, because it's part of solving for a.

y = ±|a|(x - h)² + k

where x and y are from a coordinate point on the graph, h and k are the coordinates of the vertex, the absolute value of a indicates how steep or flat the graph is compared to the parent graph, and the ± is because a positive parabola opens up and a negative one opens upside down.

The vertex is (0, 9) and the coordinate point I chose to use is (3, 0). Filling those in and solving for a:

0 = ±|a|(3 - 0)² + 9 and

0 = ±|a|(3)² + 9 and

-9 = ±|a|9 and

-1 = ±|a| so a = 1. Because this is an upside down parabola the negative is out front, but a is independent of it. The correct choice is C. The quadratic function is

$y=-x^2+9$ or in more detailed form:
