3 4

Left side gets 12.

Right side gets 16.

12+16=28 in total.

When you're thinking of ratios, you have to think of rounds. Let's say I want to distribute apples... In Round 1, I'm going to give myself 1 apple and give you 2 apples. After Round 1, three apples have been distributed in total. Now, if I repeat the same pattern of distribution 1:2, after Round 2 I should have 2 apples whilst you have 4. After Round 2 a total of 6 apples would have been distributed.If the ratio is 3 to 4 - imagine there are 7 groups total, and one person gets 3 of the 7 and the other person gets 4 of the 7.

____________________________________________
If 28 is divided into 7 groups, each group has 4 cans.

One person gets 3 groups = 4*3 = 12 cans
The other gets 4 groups = 4*4* = 16 cans

This way is easier for me to do, but go with whatever works for you :)

Please tell me the answers and how you got them step by step

Keep in mind we'll convert the mixed fractions to "improper" and then proceed, also keep in mind that minus times minus is plus,

$\bf -5-\cfrac{5}{3}\impliedby \stackrel{LCD}{3}\implies \cfrac{(-5\cdot 3)-(5\cdot 1)}{3}\implies \cfrac{-15-5}{3}\implies \cfrac{-20}{3}
\\\\\\
{-6\frac{2}{3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
-1\frac{1}{3}-1\frac{2}{3}\implies -\cfrac{1\cdot 3+1}{3}-\cfrac{1\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies -\cfrac{4}{3}-\cfrac{5}{3}$

$\bf \stackrel{LCD}{3}\implies \cfrac{-4-5}{3}\implies \cfrac{-9}{3}\implies -3\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
-\cfrac{1}{2}-\left(-\cfrac{5}{9} \right)\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}+\cfrac{5}{9}\impliedby \stackrel{LCD}{18}\implies \cfrac{(-1\cdot 9)+(5\cdot 2)}{18}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-9+10}{18}\implies \cfrac{1}{18}$

For a circle with a radius of 6 meters, what is the measurement of a central angle (in degrees) subtended by an arc with a lengt

wariber [46]

Answer:

The angle is 1560°

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc in radian is given by s=rФ

where s=length of an arc, r=radius and Ф = angle in radians

The question asked us to find the angle

Given to us is; r =6m and s=52π and Фis what we are to find

From the formula s= rФ

Ф= s/r = 52πm/6m

Ф=52π/6

Ф=26π/3 radians

But the question states that the angle should be in degree, so we will change the above angle to degree, to do that we will simply multiply the angle by 180°/π

Thus;

Ф=26π/ 3 × 180°/π

(The π at the numerator will cancel that of the denominator, and 180° will be divided by 3 to give 60°, we will be left with just 26 and 60 at the numerator)

Ф = 26× 60°

Ф=1560°

Therefore, the central angle (in degree) subtended by an arc with length 52πmeters and radius 6 meters is 1560°
