Answer:

<em>48 spices</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of spices each has is a multiple of 5, 3, and 4.

The number of spices each has is 5x, 3x, and 4x.

Pru has 5x spices.

Piper has 3x spices.

Pru has 24 more spices than Piper, so

5x = 3x + 24

2x = 24

x = 12

Phoebe has 4x spices, so Phoebe has

4(12) = 48

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:  Pru, Piper, Phoebe their ratio 5:3:4 added = 12

What this would mean is that Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices all together.


pru = piper + 24

5/12x = 3/12x + 24

5/12x - 3/12x = 24

2/12x = 24

x = 24 / (1/6)

x = 24 * 6

x = 144 spices in all.


Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices

Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices

Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices <====

Answer: 13.5 Okay! Here's the method count the legs of the right triangle

The formula we'll use will be

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

In this case we're counting by twos

The base is 11 so we times it by itself =110

The leg is 8.5 so we going to times itself to make 72.25 add those together so 110+ 72.25 = 182.25 then we \|-----

182.25

Then you have got ur answer of 13.5

Find the distance between the points (-3, 11) and (5, 5).<br><br> 10<br> 2<br> 2
yanalaym [24]
Use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.

d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

d= \sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(11-5)^2} \\ d - \sqrt{-8^2+6^2} \\ d=\sqrt{64+36} \\ d = \sqrt{100} \\\\ \boxed{d=10}

Given y=-3/4x-2. What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular and has the point (-4,1)? Write answer in slope intercep
raketka [301]

Answer:

y=4/3+19/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When it asks for perpendicular it means your focusing on the slope.

Perpendicular means opposite of the current slope, so flip it and change the sign (-3/4 changes to 4/3). Next you will use the equation (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

y1=the y value given

x1=the x value given

m=your slope

(y-1)=4/3(x+4)     Since the x point is minus a negative we get to change the sign to a positive. Next distribute the 4/3 to each term in the parenthesis.

y-1=4/3(x)+4/3(4)

y-1=4/3x+16/3     Now we add the one to both sides.

 +1          +1          The one isn't in teh correct format to just add so first imagine it as 1/1. Now to get the bottom to have a 3 like in 16/3 we just multiply the top and bottom by 3.

\frac{1}{1} x\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{3}       Now we can add this to the 16/3

\frac{16}{3} +\frac{3}{3}=\frac{19}{3}  We can now put this back into our equation.

y=4/3+19/3
