A and B share the cost in a ratio of 3:2. A pays £125 how much does b pay?

To solve this problem, we can set up proportion, which is two equivalent ratios. In this case, we are using the ratio of A to B to figure out the amount that B pays using our value for A. We are allowing x to represent the unknown value for the B payment. This is modeled below:

3/2 = £125/x

To simplify, we can perform cross-multiplication. This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:

(125)(2) = (3)(x)

Next, we can simplify the equation by performing the multiplication on both sides of the equation.

250 = 3x

Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get our unknown variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 83.33

Therefore, B costs £83.33.

Hope this helps!

Hello!
3 + 2 = 5
125 divided by 5 = 25
25 x 3:2 = 2
25 x 2 = 50

What is the center of a circle with the equation (x − 6)2 + (y + 2)2 = 9?

dedylja [7]

Answer:

centre = (6, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

(x - 6)² + (y + 2)² = 9 ← is in standard form

with (h, k ) = (6, - 2 ) ← centre

Our first expression is $(2p^{-3} q^{8} )^{4}$ . Upon distributing the exponent 4 on all the terms, we get:

$(2p^{-3} q^{8} )^{4}=2^{4}(p^{-3})^{4}(q^{8})^{4}=16p^{-12}q^{32}=\frac{16q^{32}}{p^{12}}$

Therefore, your answer is correct for this part. :)

Second expression is $(2m^{-4}n^{5})^{-2}$ . Upon distributing the exponent -2 on all the terms, we get:

$(2m^{-4}n^{5})^{-2}=2^{-2}(m^{-4})^{-2}(n^{5})^{-2}=2^{-2}m^{8}n^{-10}=\frac{m^{8}}{4n^{10}}$

Your second answer is correct too.

Our third expression is $2(5g^{-4}h^{-6})^{2}$ . Upon distributing the exponent 2 on all the terms, we get:

$2(5g^{-4}h^{-6})^{2}=2(5^{2})(g^{-4})^{2}(h^{-6})^{2}=2(25)g^{-8}h^{-12}=\frac{50}{g^{8}h^{12}}$

This one is not correct. Your answer would have been correct, if the exponent were -2 instead of 2 in this part.

Our forth and last expression is $4(2c^{-3}d^{6})^{-5}$ . Upon distributing the exponent -5 on all the terms inside the parenthesis, we get:

$4(2c^{-3}d^{6})^{-5}=4(2^{-5})(c^{-3})^{-5}(d^{6})^{-5}=\frac{4}{2^{5}}(c^{15})(d^{-30})=\frac{4c^{15}}{32d^{30}}=\frac{c^{15}}{8d^{30}}$

Therefore, your answer for this part is also correct.

Looking at your work, I don't think you made a mistake in number 3 also, probably mis-typed the question while writing here :)
