If $560 is sheared in the ratio 2:3:9 , the difference between the largest and the smallest shares is

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The difference between the largest and the smallest shares is $280

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount to be shared = $560

Ratios of share are 2:3:9 => Total of 14 equal portions

To get one portion, $560 / 14 = $40

First share is 2, therefore $40 x 2 =        $80 (smallest share)

Second share is 3, therefore $40 x 3 = $120

Third share is 9, therefore $40 x 9 =    $360 (largest share)

                                            <u>TOTAL =     $560</u>

The difference between the largest and the smallest = $360 - $80

                                                                                        = $280

How many solutions exist for the given equation? StartFraction one-half left-parenthesis x plus 12 right-parenthesis equals 4 x
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

One solution x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

\dfrac{1}{2}(x+12)=4x-1

Multiply this equation by 2:

2\cdot \dfrac{1}{2}(x+12)=2\cdot (4x-1)\\ \\x+12=2(4x-1)

Use distributive property:

x+12=8x-2

Combine the like terms:

x+12=8x-2\\ \\x+12-12=8x-2-12\\ \\x=8x-14\\ \\x-8x=8x-14-8x\\ \\-7x=-14\\ \\7x=14\\ \\x=2

Thus, this equation has one solution x = 2

If 97 of 200 is 100% then how much of 200 is 112%
pickupchik [31]
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 112 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 112 is 100%, so we can write it down as 112=100%.
4. We know, that x is 200% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=200%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 112=100%
2) x=200%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
112/x=100%/200%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 200% of 112

112/x=100/200
(112/x)*x=(100/200)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
112=0.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.5) to get x
112/0.5=x
224=x
x=224

now we have:
200% of 112=224
