Answer:

4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that P divides segment MN into 4/7, let MN to be x units in length then

MP = 4/7 x =4x/7 --------(i)

But MN =MP+PN so;

x=4x/7 +PN

x- 4X/7 =PN

3x/7 =PN ----------(ii)

To get the ratio of MP:PN

MP: PN

4x/7:3x/7

MP/PN = 4x/7 / 3x/7

MP/PN =4/3

MP:PN = 4:3

Answer: 4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A point P is 4/7 of the distance from M to N.

∴ Let the distance between M to N be d.

\Rightarrow\ MP=\dfrac{4}{7}\times d=\dfrac{4d}{7}

Also,  the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N .

Thus , MN = MP+PN

\Rightarrow\ d=\dfrac{4d}{7}+PN\\\\\Rightarrow\ PN= d-\dfrac{4d}{7}=\dfrac{7d-4d}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ PN=\dfrac{3}{7}d

Now, the ration of MP to PN will be :-

\dfrac{MP}{PN}=\dfrac{\dfrac{4d}{7}}{\dfrac{3d}{7}}=\dfrac{4}{3}

∴ Point P partitioned the line segment MN into 4:3.

Rendering math...While solving an equation, Wayra made some mistakes. Her solution is given below. Please help her to identify t
solong [7]

Answer:

<em><u>According to the calculation, Wayra mage a mistahe in step 2 where she added 13 and 6 together instead of multiplying to get 78.</u></em>

<em><u>She also make a mistake in step 2 where he subtracted 5z from 4z to get z instead of -z</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Wayra expressed as;

Step 1: 13(z+6) = 4(z-3)-5z

She is find the value of z from the equation;

Step 2: Open the parenthesis using the distributive property;

13(z+6) = 4(z-3)-5z

13z + 13(6) = 4z - 4(3) - 5z

13z + 78 = 4z - 12 - 5z

Step 3: Simplify

13z + 78 = 4z - 5z - 12

13z + 78 = -z -12

Step 4: Collect the like terms;

13z + z = -12 - 78

Step 5: Simplify the result

14z = -90

Step 6: Divide both sides by 14

14z/14 = -90/14

z = 6.428

<em><u>According to the calculation, Wayra mage a mistahe in step 2 where she added 13 and 6 together instead of multiplying to get 78.</u></em>

<em><u>She also make a mistake in step 2 where he subtracted 5z from 4z to get z instead of -z</u></em>

6.perimeter of the given shape above is
avanturin [10]
The answer is B.

One side is 14 feet and the other is 6. Since it is a rectangle and a rectangle has four sides, we need to take 14 and multiply it by 2. That will get us 28. Same thing apply for the other side. 6 multiplied by 2 is 12. And if we take our 2 numbers which are 28 and 12 and we add them up, our Perimeter is 40.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to rate my answer as well as maybe give it a "Thanks"? (Or even better a "Brainliest"). And if it’s not correct, I am sorry for wasting your time, and good luck finding the correct answer :)
