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

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 ratio of the width to the length of a rectangle is 2:3, respectively. Answer each of the following. a By what percent would

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The percentage increase in Area of rectangle is 200%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The ratio of the width to the length of a rectangle is 2:3

Let The length of rectangle = 2 x

Let The width of rectangle = 3 x

∵ Area of rectangle = length × width

So, $A_1$ = 2 x × 3 x

Or, $A_1$ = 6 x²

<u>Again</u>

The increased length of rectangle = 2 x + 2 x = 4 x

The increase width of rectangle = 3 x + 50% of 3 x

I.e The increase width of rectangle = 3 x + 1.5 x = 4.5 x

∵ Increased Area of rectangle = increased length × increased width

Or, $A_2$ = 4 x × 4.5 x = 18 x²

So, The percentage increase in area = $\dfrac{A_2 - A_1}{A_1}$ × 100

Or, The percentage increase in area = $\frac{18 x^{2}-6x^{2}}{6x^{2}}$ × 100

Or , The percentage increase in area = $\dfrac{12}{6}$ × 100

∴ The percentage increase in area = 200

Hence, The percentage increase in Area of rectangle is 200% Answer

Verifying Properties of logarithms In Exercise,use a graphing utility to verify that the functions are equivalent for x > 0.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Applying Quotient and power rule. Graphically, for x>0 both curves coincide.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Firstly, by applying the Quotient and then the Power Rule, we have a subtraction of the argument and, finally the exponent turns to be the coefficient. As it follows:

$lnx=log_{e}x\\\\f(x) = ln({\frac{x^{2}}{4}})\Rightarrow f(x)=ln{x^2}-ln4\Rightarrow f(x)=2lnx-ln4\\g(x) = 2 ln x - ln 4$
