The actual amount that needs to be divided = 85
The ratio in which the amount needs to be divided = 2:3:5
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
2x + 3x + 5x = 85
10x = 85
x = 85/10
  = 8.5
Then
The ratio in which the number 85 will be divided = 2 * 8.5:3 * 8.5:5 * 8.5
                                                                             = 17:25.5:42.5
So from the above deduction we can see that the number 85 can be divided in the ratio 17:25.5:42.5

Which line contains the pint (6-4) and has a slope of -5/6
natima [27]

Answer:

y = - 5/6 x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b      m: slope    b: y intercept

point (6 , -4)        x = 6     y = -4

b = y - mx = -4 - ((-5/6) x 6) = - 4 + 5 = 1

equation: y = - 5/6 x + 1

World war 1 lasted from August 4th 1914 until November 11th, 1918. During this time an estimated 10 million lives were lost. Abo
Kryger [21]
The question is so dry, mechanical, and devoid of emotion
that it's terrifying.

There is no way to assign a number to "How many people were
dying per day", and I would prefer not even to think about it in
those terms.

-- The period of time from August 4, 1914 until November 11, 1918 is 1,560 days.

-- The "average", or better, the "unit rate" of 10 million events in 1,560 days
is the quotient

                   (10,000,000 events) / (1,560 days) 

               =  6,410.3 events per day

               =     267.1 events per hour

               =       4.45 events per minute.


Reciprocally, this is a unit rate of 

                  13.48 seconds per event,
                  sustained continuously for 4.274 years !

When will we ever learn ! ?

Lori wants to determine the average amount of time that students at her school spend on a computer each day there are 350 studen
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

2 students from each 15 classrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

"The number of boys and girls is approximately equal" is probably the most random sample, that is if the whole topic of the publication is Lorrie and her experimenting endeavors. If that is not the subject, then "Lorrie wants to determine the average amount of time that students at her school spend on the computer each day" is the most strange and random
