Answer:

To find how much money they shared first find the total parts

Which is

5 + 7 + 8 = 20

Deila's share is

5 /20 × £1600

= 1/4 × £1600 = £ 400

Edwin's share is

7/ 20 ×£1600 = £560

Freya's share is

8/20 × £1600

= 2/5 × £1600 = £640

Hope this helps you

Answer:

£ 40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Freya receives 8 parts of the total amount

8 parts = £1600

this means, we can calculate 1 part:

8 parts = £1600

1 part =£1600/8 = £ 2000

Now, we are able to calculate the total share :

Total number of parts = 8 + 5 + 7 = 20

1 share = £2000

So, 20 shares = £40000

hope this helps,

Good Luck

Answer:

Symmetry is correspondence of the form and arrangement of elements or parts on opposite sides of a dividing line. imagine that this ractangle is a piece of paper, you need to fold it two times, different ways. in this case when you fold it over the horizontal colored line all colored parts will match, same case when you fold it vertically.

A bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. The bottles are supposed to contain 300 milliliters

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

e. 0.0072

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. And the contents vary according to a Normal distribution with Mean, μ = 298 ml and Standard deviation, σ = 3 ml .

Let Z = $\frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1) where, Xbar = mean contents of six randomly

selected bottles

n = sample size i.e. 6

So, Probability that the mean contents of six randomly selected bottles is less than 295 ml is given by, P(Xbar < 295)

P(Xbar < 295) = P( $\frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{295 - 298}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{6} } }$ ) = P(Z < -2.45) = P(Z > 2.45)

Now, using z% score table we find that P(Z > 2.45) = 0.00715 ≈ 0.0072 .

Therefore, option e is correct .

HELP!

Part A

$4x^2 -7x-15=0\\\\(4x+5)(x-3)=0\\\\x=-\frac{5}{4}, 3$

So, the x-intercepts are $\boxed{\left(-\frac{5}{4}, 0 \right), (3,0)}$

Part B

The vertex will be a minimum because the coefficient of $x^2$ is positive.

The x-coordinate of the vertex is $x=-\frac{-7}{2(4)}=\frac{7}{8}$

Substituting this back into the function, we get $f\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)=4\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)^2 -7\left(\frac{7}{8} \right)^2 -15=-\frac{289}{16}$

So, the coordinates of the vertex are $\boxed{\left(\frac{7}{8}, -\frac{289}{16} \right)}$

Part C

Plot the vertex and the x-intercepts and draw a parabola that passes through these three points.

The graph is shown in the attached image.
