How do you divide $306 into the ratio of 9:5:3? Can someone give me some advice on how to solve this problem?

In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.

9x + 5x + 3x = 306

Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.

17x = 306

Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.

x = 18

However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.

9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54

You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.

Your final ratio is 162:90:54.

Hope this helps! :)

A rectangular field is to be enclosed by a fence and divided
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

80000 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter + dividing fence = 800

let a = length

let b = width

let c = length of dividing fence

perimeter = 2*a + 2*b

let's say...

c is the same as the length

2a + 2b + c = 800

2a + 2b + a = 800

3a + 2b = 800

area = length*width

area = a*b

area / b = a

3*(area/b) + 2b = 800

3*(area/b) = 800 - 2b

area/b = (800 - 2b)

area = (800 - 2b)*b

To make the area large, we make the right hand side large.

800b - 2b^2

If you put in terms of x, y it looks like a downward opening parabola, so the max area is at the vertex. Half way between the roots.

y = -2x^2 + 800x

y = -x^2 + 400x

0 = x*(-x + 400)

roots are x= 0 and x = 400

vertex is at x, aka b = 200

area at b=200 is (800 - 400)*200 = 80000

and a is area/b... 80000/400 = 200
