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

How can you write 200,000 using a whole number and a power of 10

jeka94

Hey!

-----------------------------------

Question Explanation:

In other words you can write 200,00 using a whole number and a power 10 using scientific notation!

In scientific notation you want a number less than 10 multiplied by 10 to the power of a number.

-----------------------------------

Solution:

200,000 / 10 = 20,000

20,000 / 10 = 2,000

2,000 / 10 = 200

200 / 10 = 20

20 / 10 = 2

I divided 200,000 by 10 five times to get a number less than 10.

So, 5 is going to be the exponent.

-----------------------------------

Answer:

2 x 10^5

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Tamara earns 2,050 every month. She spends 65% on the amount that she earns. The rest of the money is equally divided and deposi

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Tamara earns $2,050 each month.

She spends 65% of that, so the amount that she spends is:

S = (65%/100%)*$2,050 = 0.65*$2,050 = $1,332.50

Then the amount that she has left is:

R = $2,050 - $1,332.50 = $717.50

Now she divides that in half, and deposits those amounts in two separate accounts.

She deposits $717.50/2 = $358.75 in each acount.

Then she deposits $358.75 per month, so after x months she has:

x*$358.75 in each of those accounts, so one of the accounts will have more than $2,500 when:

x*$358.75 = $2,500

x = $2,500/$358.75 = 6.96

So after 6.96 moths she will have more than $2,500 in one of her accounts, we can round it to:

After 10 months Tamara has deposited more than 2,500 in one of her accounts.
