Hey there,
Let's say that the first piece is x cm
1st = x
2nd = x + 25%
3rd = x - 25%
100% = 240 cm
1% = 240 / 100
      = 2.4cm
x + x + 25 + x - 25 = 100
3x + 25 - 25 = 100
3x = 100 - 25 + 25
3x = 100
3x = 240 cm
x = 240 / 3
   = 80 cm
1st piece = 80 cm
2nd piece = 80 + (25% x 80)
                = 80 + 20
                = 100cm
3rd piece = 80 cm - (25% x 80)
                = 80 cm - 20
                = 60cm

Hope this helps :))

Answer:

23) 36·(3·1/4) = 36·(3/4) = 108/4 = 27

24) (4·2/7)·21 = (8/7)·21 = 168/7 = 24

25) 2(x+4) = 2x+8

26) (5+n)3 = 15+3n

27) (4-3m)8 = 32-24m

28) -3(2x-6) = -6x+18

29) 13r+5r = 18r

30) 3x³-2x²

31) 7m+7-5m = 2m+7

32) 5z²+3z+8z² = 3z+13z²

33) (2-4n)17 = 34-68n

34) 11(4d+6) = 44d+66

35) 7m+2m+5p+4m = 13m+5p

36) 3x+7(3x+4) = 3x+21x+28 = 24x+28

37) 4(fg+3g)+5g = 4fg+12g+5g = 4fg+17g

38) (5m)²+(m+5)²= 26m²+10m+25

39) 7(a²+b)-4(a²+b) = 3(a²+b) = 3a²+b

sarah, natasha and richard share some sweets in the ratio 5:2:4. sarah gets 60 sweets. how many did richard get?​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

48 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

5:2:4

Sarah: 5

Natasha:2

Richard:4

To find out how many sweets Richard got, we need to use 60 as the lcm. Since, we have a definite constant of 60 we need to divide it by the presiding ratio.

60/5 = 12

That means for a ratio of 1, everyone in the group recieves 12.

Now, we plug it in for each of the members.

5x = Sarah

2x = Natasha

4x = Richard

Sarah = 60 sweets

Natasha = 24 sweets

Richard = 48 sweets

How to find the area of a regular polygon
Taya2010 [7]
You can always find the area from breaking it up into smaller shapes. For example, a hexagon is basically 2 trapezoids. 
Some formulas for different shapes.
Trapezoid: <span>height × (base1 + base2) / 2
Rectangle: length x width
Parallelogram: height x base
Triangle height x base / 2</span>
