Mathematics
1 answer:
swat323 years ago

Answer:

161 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this

ratio is 2:5

Amanda : Wim

from the ratio we know that the whole is 2+5 = 7 parts

so Amanda gets 2/7 parts and Wim gets 5/7 parts

Wim gets 115 which means that his part is equal to that amount of money

5/7 = 115

so we can find for all of the parts in two different ways.

1. Either we find Amanda's part and add it to Wim's part to find the total like this:

If 5/7 = 115 then

1/7 = 115/5

= 23

Amanda's part = 2/7

2/7 = 23×2

= 46 pounds

total = 115 pounds + 46 pounds

= 161 pounds altogether

OR

2. Just find the whole:

If 5/7 = 115

then 1/7 = 115/5

=23

and 7/7 (which is the whole) = 23×7

= 161 pounds altogether

Hope that helps

The graph of the equation
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation has a vertical asymptote at x = -2 and a horizontal asymptote at y = 1. This is stuff you should know about rational equations as you learn about them. The vertical asymptote serves as the locked gate or really high wall that the graph cannot go through nor can it go around or over or under. The graph will never cross through the VA. The horizontal asymptote is a horizontal line, y = 1, that reveals the graph's end behavior. So picture this:

We have an x/y coordinate plane. There is a vertical asymptote at x = -2 and a horizontal line at y = 1. This graph, because it cannot go through the vertical asymptote, is "split" into 2 parts, basically. The left "part" comes in along the horizontal asymptote from negative infinity, almost touching it but not quite, and when it reaches x = -2, it drops along the vertical asymptote, almost touching it but not quite and goes down into negative infinity. The right "part" of the graph comes down from positive infinity along the vertical asymptote, almost touching it but not quite, and when it reaches y = 1, it curves along that line off into positive infinity.

A business owner purchases supplies for a laundromat and a car wash.
Katarina [22]
To estimate the cost, you would round the numbers before doing any calculations. For this question you would have 6×70+8×40+3×50. This is 420+320+150. The total estimated cost would then be $890.

Do you think that science is a waste of time?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

it can be. It just depends on what you are interested in. If you are interested in a scientific field then it is an amazing way to use your time. But if you are bot interested in science, it is a waste personally.
