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

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The width of the yard is approximately 6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet. Then we must find the number of cubic yards.

So we know for 1 cubic yard = $98

And for "x" cubic yard = $58.07

1/x =98/58.07

x = 0.5925

After we figure this out we need to convert this into cubic feet

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet

0.5925 cubic yard = x cubic feet

1/0.5925= 27/x

x = 15 .99 cubic feet

So,

width x height x length = 16 cubic feet

w x 8 x (1/3) = 16

w = 48/8 = 6 feet

So:

The answer is:

The width of the yard is approximately 6 feet.

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;
