Total amount of money paid
=11 x 15
=$165

total amount of money sold
=25 x 15

difference
= 375 - 165
=$210

A jar has 570 marbles of different colors.The ratio of red to blue marbles are 2:3 and red to green is 4:5.how many marbles of e

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The number of red marbles = 152

The number of blue marbles = 228 and

the number of green marbles = 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of red marbles, y be the number of blue marbles and z be the number of green marbles.

It is given that the total marbles = 570.

Therefore, x + y + z = 570 --- (1)

It is also given that the ratio of red to blue marbles is 2 : 3.

Therefore, x : y = 2 : 3

or 3x = 2y --- (2)

It is also given that the ratio of red to green marbles is 4 : 5.

Therefore, x : z = 4 : 5

or 5x = 4z --- (3)

From (2), $y=\frac{3x}{2}$

From (3), $z=\frac{5x}{4}$

Substituting the above in (1), we get,

$x+\frac{3x}{2} +\frac{5x}{4} =570$

Multiply both sides by 4.

4x + 6x + 5x = 2280

15x = 2280

Divide both sides by 15.

x = 152

Hence,

y = $\frac{3(152)}{2}$

y = 228

z = $\frac{5(152)}{4}$

z = 190

Therefore,

The number of red marbles = 152

The number of blue marbles = 228 and

the number of green marbles = 190

<u>Check:</u>

Total number of marbles = 152 + 228 + 190 = 570

Ratio of red to blue marbles = 152 : 228 = 2 : 3

Ratio of red t green marbles = 152 : 190 = 4 : 5

Marris decides to bake his parents a cookie in the shape of a regular dodecagon (12‑gon) for their 12-day anniversary.

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The answer to each question is:

A.) 403.2 $cm^{2}$
B.) 100. 8 $cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) To obtain the area of the dodecagon, you can use the next formula:

Area of a dodecagon = 6 * apothem * edge

In the exercise, we have the edge (6 cm), but, to find the apothem of a dodecagon, that is the distance between the center of the polygon, and the middle point of each side, you can use the next formula:

Apothem = Edge * $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

If we replace the value of the edge, we obtain:

Apothem = 6 cm * $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Apothem = 11.2 cm (approximately).

With this data, we can find the area:

Area of a dodecagon = 6 * apothem * edge
Area of a dodecagon = 6 * 11.2 cm * 6 cm
Area of a dodecagon = 403.2 $cm^{2}$

Then,<u> the area of the dodecagon is 403.2 </u> $cm^{2}$ <u> approximately</u>.

B.) As the area obtained is for 12 pieces, when the parents ate 9 pieces, just left 3 pieces, with these values you can make a rule of three.

If:

12 pieces = 403.2 $cm^{2}$
3 pieces = X

Then:

X = (3 * 403.2 $cm^{2}$ ) / 12
X = 1209.6 $cm^{2}$ / 12
X = 100. 8 $cm^{2}$

In this form, <u>when the cookie has 3 pieces, its area is 100. 8 </u> $cm^{2}$ <u> approximately</u>.
