Answer:

Molly gets 21, Paige gets 14 and Demi gets 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 42

Ratio = 3:2:1

Total Parts = 3+2+1 = 6

Molly:

=> $\frac{3}{6}*42$

=> 3*7

=> 21 sweets

Paige:

=> $\frac{2}{6}*42$

=> 2*7

=> 14 sweets

Demi:

=> $\frac{1}{6}*42$

=> 7 sweets

Add the ratios: 3+2+1= 6

Divide total treats by total ratio:

42/6 = 7

Now multiply each separate ratio by that:

Molly = 3x7 = 21

Paige = 2x7 = 14

Demi = 1x7 = 7

Show that B = {[a, b) ⊂ ℝ | a < b} is a basis for a topology on ℝ

loris [4]

Answer:

Remember that a set $\mathcal{B}$ is a base for some topology on $\mathbb{R}$ if satisfy the following properties:

1. $\mathbb{R}=\cup\{B: B\in\mathcal{B}\}$

2. For $B, B^* \in \mathcal{B}$ , If $p\in B\cap B^*$ then exist $B_p\in\mathcal{B}$ such that $p\in B_p\subset B\cap B^*$ .

Now, for $B=\{[a,b)\subset\mathbb{R}| a < b\}$ we verify the above properties:

1. It's clear that $\mathbb{R}=\cup_{a,b \text{ with }a$

2. Let $B=[a,b), B^*=[c,d) \in \mathcal{B}, p\in B\cap B^*$ . Without loss of generality suppose that $a$ . Then $c\leq p < b$ , this implies that $p\in[c,b)$ and $B_p=[c,d) \in \mathcal{B}$ and $B_p\subset B\cap B^*$ .

Then, B satisfy the two properties. This show that B is a basis for a topology in $\mathbb{R}$

the perimeter of a scalene triangle is 14.5 cm. the longest side is twice that of the shortest side. which equation can be used

madreJ [45]

Let a = longest side (Establishing labels)
let b = shortest side
let c = third side

P = 14.5 (Given)
a = 6.2
b = 1/2(a)

P = a + b + c
P = 6.2 + 3.1 + c (Fill in given info in equation)

P = 9.3 + c (Simplify)

14.5 = 9.3 + c (Simplify)

c = 14.5 - 9.3 (Solve)
c = 5.2

Hope this made sense!
