Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

The money shared by Ben and Carol was split ...

... Ben : Carol = 1 : 3

The difference of these ratio numbers is 2, and the difference in amount received is $6. Thus, each ratio unit must stand for $6/2 = $3.

... Ben received 1×$3 = $3

_____

<em>The Rest of the Story</em>

Carol received 3×$3 = $9. Together, Ben and Carol received $3 + 9 = $12, which is 4/5 of the total amount. Then the 1/5 of the total amount that Alice received is

... (1/5)×$12/(4/5) = (1/4)×$12 = $3.

The $15 of money was split ...

... Alice : Ben : Carol = $3 : $3 : $9

How do I solve for AB? (rounded to the nearest tenth)
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The answer would be 8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smaller triangle, you use the pythagorean theorem. a squared + b squared = c squared.

To find one of the legs, you do 5 squared - 3 squared = b squared.

25 - 9 = b squared. (BD)

16 = b squared

4 = b

Now for the bigger right triangle. You still use the same tactic.

7 squared + 4 squared = c squared (which is AB)

49 + 16 = c squared

65 = c squared

That means c would equal: square root of 65, which is 8.0622577483 which rounds to 8.1

Simplify the expression. - | -13 | =
a_sh-v [17]
Since the -13 has the absolute value signs next to it, the 13 becomes a positive, but there is a negative outside the absolute value, and the negative sign and the absolute value sign cancelled previously, so the expressions is now
-13
The absolute value signs cancel out a negative only inside the signs, not outside, so the negative sign in the outside keeps.
