Jane and Ken share some money in the ration 5:3 Ken's share is $16 less than Jane's share. FInd each person's share.
The money is shared in the ratio 5:3
That means that Jane gets 5 parts of the total money and Ken gets three parts.
So then there are 8 parts of the money (5 + 3 = 8)
Jane has 2 parts more than Ken (5 - 3 = 2)
And those 2 parts are equal to $16 (the question says so)
So one part is equal to $8
Each person's share then is: Jane has 5 parts = $40, Ken has 3 parts = $24

Let Jane's share = x

Equation

5:3 :: x:(x - 16)

5/3 = x / (x - 16)    

Solve

Cross multiply

5*(x - 16) = 3*x

5x - 80 = 3x      Add 80 to both sides.

5x = 3x + 80      Subtract 3x from both sides.

5x - 3x = 80

2x = 80             Divide by 2

x = 80/2

x = 40

So Jane's share is 40 dollars and Ken's is 40 - 16 = 24 dollars<<< Answer

Find the area of the figure:  Select one: a. 59.5 yd^2 b. 81 yd^2 c. 58.5 yd^2 d. 55.3 yd^2
lions [1.4K]
Answer would be 58.5 yd^2 .

You should take the base of the triangle multiplied by the height.

Formula: 1/2×base×height

In this case, you know that base is 13yd and height is 9 yd.

So, apply the formula.

Area = 1/2(13yd)(9yd) = 58.5 yd^2

*Do not include the " invisible length as it is not part of the actual triangle.

*Do not include 32yd as it is a hypotenuse and not a base. Hypotenuse is a side that is opposite a right angle triangle.

1. S= squash
Z= zucchini

5s + 2z = 1.32
3s + 1z = 0.75. -2 ( 3s + 1z = 0.75)


5s + 2z = 1.32
-6s - 2z = -1.50
-s = -0.12

Squash = 0.12

5s + 2z = 1.32
5(.12) + 2z = 1.32
.60 + 2z = 1.32
2z = 1.32-.60
2z/2 =.72/2
Z= 0.36

The store sold 482 cameras in the month of March.

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Assuming that the same number of camera is sold each month. Let x represent the amount of camera sold in March.

Since the electronics store sold 1,446 cameras in the first 3 months, hence:

3x = 1446

x = 482 cameras

The store sold 482 cameras in the month of March.
