if Malachy gets £44 then Paul get $55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malachy and Paul win some money and share it in the ratio = 4:5

if Malachy gets £44 we need to find how much did Paul get?

let Paul get x so, we will have

4:5=44:x

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{44}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve:

$4x=44*5\\x=\frac{44*5}{4}\\x=55$

So, Paul get $55

A. What is the explicit definition for this sequence?<br><br>b. How far does she run on day 19?

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

(a) $a_n=1+\frac{1}{6}(n-1)$

(b) 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sequence of run is an arithmetic sequence.

Miles traveled on day 1 = 1 mile

Miles traveled on day 7 = 2 miles

(a).

Explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is given as:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_n\to n^{th}\ term\\a_1\to first\ term\\n\to number\ of\ terms\\d\to \textrm{common difference}$

Here, $a_1=1,a_7=2$

So,

$a_7=a_1+(7-1)d\\2=1+6d\\6d=2-1\\d=\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, the explicit definition of the above sequence is given as:

$a_n=1+\frac{1}{6}(n-1)$

Where, $a_n$ is the miles covered on $n^{th}$ day.

(b)

In order to find the distance covered by her on day 19, we plug in 19 for n in the above formula. This gives,

$a_{19}=1+\frac{1}{6}(19-1)\\\\a_{19}=1+\frac{1}{6}(18)\\\\a_{19}=1+3=4\ mi$

Therefore, the number of miles covered by her on day 19 is 4 miles.

With a slope of m = -2 and a point being (5,-2) what’s the Y-intercept?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

c = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Slope, m = -2

Points (x, y) = (5, -2)

To find the intercept, c;

Equation of a straight line is given by the formula: y = mx + c

Where;

m is the slope.

x and y are the points

c is the intercept.

Substituting the values in order to find the intercept, we have;

-2 = -2(5) + c

-2 = -10 + c

c = 10 - 2

c = 8

Therefore, the y-intercept is 8.

A toy previously sold for $10.00 now sells for 75 cents. Calculate the decrease in the value of the toy

kramer

The decrease in the value of the toy is $9.25 if you subtract $ 0.75 from $10.00 then you get $9.25 so it's $9.25 cheaper

8. Determine the x- and y-intercepts of -12a - 8y = 24.<br> i need help

Doss [256]

Step-by-step explanation: First you convert the equation into standard form, which is y=mx+b . Then graph it. When it is in the form y=mx+b it is easier to graph. Then you can see the intercepts on the graph and come up with your answer.

Hope this helps!
