To work out how many each of them got, we must first nd up each part of the ratio, to find the total number of divisions. We can then divide the total by this number to get what 1 part is equal. Finally multiply by the original ratio to find out the quantity each received.
1)  1 + 4 = 5
2)  15 / 5 = 3 = 1 Part
3)  Gemma = 1 x 3 = 3 biscuits
4)  Zak = 4 x 3 = 12 biscuits

Gemma : Zak
     3       :  12

Number of biscuits shared by Mrs Perry = 25
ratio in which the biscuits were shared between Gemma and Zak = 1:4
Let us assume the common ratio = x
then
x + 4x = 15
5x = 15
x = 3
Then
The number of biscuits that Gemma got = 3
The number of biscuits that Zak got = 4x
                                                          = 4 * 3
                                                           = 12
So
Gemma: Zak = 3:12
I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 12 in

b = 8 in.

h = 6 in.

<u>plugin values into the formula:</u>

A = 1/2 h(a + b)

A = <u>(12 + 8) </u>  x  6

How do i solve this?<br> 2+4x=2(2x+1)
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions (or 2=2 which isnt related)

Step-by-step explanation:

2+4x=4x+2

Distribute the 2 to the numbers inside.

Secondly, Minus the 4x on the right side and also minus the 4x on the right side.

You would end up with 0x.

The answer would be 2=2, but the real answer would be "infinitely many solutions."

If your teacher thinks this is wrong, I don't know what else. I could be wrong but really, I don't care.

1. Solve -y/12 = 6<br> 2. Solve x/4 = 8
OlgaM077 [116]

1. Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, multiply 12 to both sides

-y/12(12) = 6(12)

-y = 6(12)

-y = 72

Isolate the y. Divide -1 from both sides

-y/-1 = 72/-1

y = -72

-72 is your answer for y

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

2. Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

x/4 = 8

First, multiply 4 to both sides

x/4(4) = 8(4)

x = 8(4)

x = 32

32 is your answer for x

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

hope this helps

Greg practiced playing his clarinet for 12 minutes. He has practiced 40% of the amount of time he needs to practice today. How m
lyudmila [28]
You set up a proportion so: 12/x and 40/100
Cross multiply so 12 times 100 = 1200
and 40 times x = 40x 
1200 divided by 40 = 30 minutes total
You know that he already know he spent 12 minutes doing it so
30 - 12 = 18 more minutes
