Hello,

Let a the first, b the second and c the third.
a+b+c=53
b=a/3
c=2a
==>a+a/3+2a=53
==>10a/3=53
==>a=15.9
c=2*a=2*15.9=31.8
b=a/3=15.9/3=5.3

Proof: a+b+c=15.9+5.3+31.8=53

The second number is 5.3

11c4 how do I get the answer
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

330

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the "choose" formula.

The equation for the choose formula is this:

nCk = n! / k!(n-k)!

! = factorial.

Plug in our numbers:

11C4 = 11! / 4!(11-4)!

39916800 / 24(5040)

39916800 / 120960

330

What is the ratio of x to y?
abruzzese [7]
\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes (or the means):

\frac{2x+y}{2} = \frac{2x}{3} = k

so we have:

2x=3k
2x+y=2k therefore:
3k+y=2k
y= - k

x=\frac{3}{2} k

\frac{x}{y} = - \frac{3}{2}

The corect answer is A. -3/2

or:

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{2x}{2x+y}

From any proportion, we get another proportion by inverting the extremes and the means:

\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}

We use a property of proportions:

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}  where a, d are extremes and b,c are means and the product of the extremes equals the product of the means (a*d=b*c),

so we have

\frac{a-b}{b} = \frac{c-d}{d}  or

\frac{a+b}{b} = \frac{c+d}{d}  (you can check this also by "the product of the extremes equals the product of the means")

\frac{2x+y}{2x} = \frac{2}{3}

\frac{(2x+y)-2x}{2x} = \frac{2-3}{3}

\frac{y}{2x} = \frac{-1}{3}

3y = - 2x

\frac{x}{y} = -\frac{3}{2}

formula is width x height x length = volume
