Answer: 104 (Good chance its wrong)

Step-by-step explanation: if the ratio is 3:1 then there's 3 times as much boys as girls. if there are 52 more boys then that means 52 is twice as much as the number of girls so if we divide is by 2 we get 26. if we add 26 with 52 we get 78 and if we divide 78 by 3 we get 26. so I believe there are 26 girls and 78 boys. 26+78=104

I believe 104 is the answer but there's a good chance i'm wrong.

Mother wants to divide $36 between her daughters Ava and Charlotte in the ratio of their ages. If Ava is 15 years old and Charlo

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Ava's share = $20

Charlotte's share = $16

Step-by-step explanation:

15x + 12x = 36 : multiply each girl's age by same amount and adding gives $36

27x = 36 : add x terms

x = 36 / 27 : divide both sides of equation by 27

x = 4 / 3

Ava's share = 15x = 15 * 4/3 = 20

Charlotte's share = 12x = 12 * 4/3 = 16

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Net A is the correct net. If we decide to fold the net, we'd get the shape of the prism. Folding back net B won't give us the shape of the prism because of the position and arrangement of the right triangular bases.

Part B:

AB = 3in

BC = 5 in

CD = 9.4 in

Part C: surface area of the prism can be calculated by calculating the area of each part of the net, and summing them together as follows,

Area of the 2 triangular bases = 2(½*base*height of triangle) = 2(½*4*3) = 2*2*3 = 12 in²

Area of the three rectangles =

$= (9.4*4) + (9.4*3) + (9.4*5) = 37.6 + 28.2 + 47 = 112.8 in^2$

Surface area of prism = 12 + 112.8 = 124.8 in²
