Answer:

First Sibling gets $4000

Second Sibling gets $8000

Third Sibling gets $12,000

Fourth Sibling gets $16,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio of 2:4:6:8 means that

First sibling gets 2 parts of total

Second sibling gets 4 parts of total

Third sibling gets 6 parts of total

Fourth sibling gets 8 parts of total

Now, how many parts are there??

2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 20 parts

Now, we divide the total inheritance ($40,000) in 20 parts, so each part is worth:

40,000/20 = $2000

Hence,

First Sibling gets = 2000 * 2 = $4000

Second Sibling gets = 2000 * 4 = $8000

Third Sibling gets = 2000 * 6 = $12,000

Fourth Sibling gets = 2000 * 8 = $16,000

Which way shows one way you can decompose 15 to find 42 x 15?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

42 * 10 + 42 * 5

which agrees with the third option (C) shown on the list of possible answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that using distributive property we can write:

42 * 15 = 42 (10 + 5) = 42 * 10 + 42 * 5

which agrees with the third option (C) shown on the list of possible answers.

Please help!! This is so confusing! 100 points!!

Answer:

The value of the expression given is:

  • 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must divide the expression in three, and to the final, you can multiply it:

  1. [(3^8)*(2^(-5))*(9^0)]^(-2)
  2. [(2^(-2))/(3^3)]^4
  3. 3^28

Now, we can solve each part one by one:

<em>First part. </em>

  • 3^8 = 6561
  • 2^(-5) = 0.03125
  • 9^0 = 1 (Whatever number elevated to 0, its value is 1)
  • (6561 * 0,03125 * 1) = 205.03125

And we elevate this to -2:

  • 205.03125^-2 = 2<u>.378810688*10^(-5)</u> or <u>0.00002378810688 </u>

<em>Second part. </em>

  • 2^(-2) = 0.25
  • 3^3 = 27
  • 0.25 / 27 = 9.259259259 * 10^(-3) or 0.00925925925925

And we elevate this to 4:

  • 0.00925925925925^4 = <u>7.350298528 * 10^(-9)</u> or <u>0.000000007350298528 </u>

<em>Third Part. </em>

  • 3^28 = <u>2.287679245 * 10^13</u> or <u>22876792450000</u>

At last, we multiply all the results obtained:

  • 0.00002378810688 * 0.000000007350298528 * 22876792450000 = <u>3.999999999999999999</u> approximately <u>4</u>

<u><em>We approximate the value because the difference to 4 is minimal, which could be obtained if we use all the decimals in each result</em></u>.
