Answer:

Maggie spent =30

Karen spent = 10

Jasmine spent =20

Step-by-step explanation:

In this we use algebra to solve.we give the sisters unknowns, to help us solve the equation.

we dont know how much jasmine used so we give her the unknown x.you can use any letter but ill us x.

karen used half as much as karen so we give her 1/2x because it was half of jasmine.maggie used 3 times that of karen so w give her 3(1/2x).

maggie =3(1/2x)

Karen =1/2x

jasmine =x

3(1/2x) + 1/2x + x = 60

3/2x + 1/2x + x = 60

2x + x = 60

3x=60

x=20

where we have x =we replace with 20

e.g karen 1/2x => 1/2 x 20 =10

if you need any clarifications please do tell me in the comment section.i would like to help more if you need help.thx

     Hope this helps and if it does mark as branliest anwer thx

When you distribute, it would be 6x - 21 + 5

-21 + 5 = -16

this means the answer would be left as 6x - 16

Find the perimeter of a square with side a. Are the perimeter of the square and the length of its side directly proportional qua
inna [77]

The perimeter of a square with side a = 7.2 cm is 28.8 cm. Yes there exists a direct proportional relationship between Side length and Perimeter of square

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that side of square "a" = 7.2 cm

We have to find the perimeter of square

<em><u>The perimeter of square is given as:</u></em>

Perimeter of square = 4a

Where "a" represents the length of side of square

Substituting the given value a = 7.2 cm in above formula, we get perimeter of square

Perimeter of square = 4(7.2) = 28.8 cm

<em><u>Are the perimeter of the square and the length of its side directly proportional quantities?</u></em>

\begin{array}{l}{\text { perimeter of square }=4 a=4 \times \text { length of side }} \\\\ {\frac{\text { perimeter of square }}{\text { length of side }}=4}\end{array}

The Perimeter is equal to a constant times the Side length, or the Perimeter divided by the Side length is equal to four. So this is definitely a proportional relationship between Side length and Perimeter.

Two values are said to be in direct proportion when an increase in one results in an increase in the other.

So when length of sides increases, perimeter also increases

Hence perimeter and length of side of square are directly propotional quantities
