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

Help for number 4 part a and part b

djyliett [7]

Part A: 7/10 because .7 represents 70/100 of a whole, or 7/10.

Part B: I think 1 and 89/100 because 89/100 represents that fraction

These are my answers, so I may be wrong.

Hope I helped, and good luck!

Answer:

I’m not too sure what your question is exactly but if your just trying to graph the two equations I can help u with that (:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you should do is change the second equation to slope intercept form. It is much easier for most people. From there write out your table by choosing a number for x then plugging that number into the equation to find y. For the first equation (y=1/3x+2) it’s always easier to use multiple of three for the number of x. For example, if 3 was my number for x I would multiply 1/3 by 3=1 then simply add 2=3. So the coordinates for one point on that table would be 3,3. You continue to do that for each graph then plot your points. (In my graph, purple is the equation y+9=-9/3x-9 and black equals the equation y=1/3x+2
