Answer:

The value of k is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio

When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)

According to this formula we find the value of k.

k = a/(a+b)

where a = 5

b = 3

Now plug the values in the formula:

k = 5/(5+3)

k = 5/8 ....

If you take 2 1/2 tablets of meds 3 times a day for 10 days, how many tablets in total have you taken?
Alisiya [41]
This is how I solved it.
2.5 multiplied by 3 is 7.5, which equals how many she takes a day.
Then I multiplied 7.5 by 10 = 75. I did that because the meds are taken for 10 days. 
Also if you added 7.5 ten times is also 75.

So my final answer is that 75 tablets have been taken in total.
