Look at the picture.

$A_1=2\ in\cdot3\ in=6\ in^2\\\\A_2=(6\ in-2\ in)\cdot5\ in=4\ in\cdot5\ in=20\ in^2$

Area of the figure:

$A=A_1+A_2\to A=6\ in^2+20\ in^2=26\ in^2$

The area of Europe is approximately 9.94 × 106 square kilometers. Its population is approximately 7.31 × 108 people. What is the

Kipish [7]

The population density is 73.54 people per square kilometer

Solution:

Given that,

Area of europe = $9.94 \times 10^6$ square kilometers

Population = $7.31 \times 10^8$

To find: population density

The formula for population density is given as:

$\text{ population density } = \frac{\text{ number of people }}{\text{ land area }}$

Substituting the values in formula, we get

$\text{Population density } = \frac{7.31 \times 10^8}{9.94 \times 10^6}\\\\\text{ use the law of exponent } \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}\\\\\text{Population density } = 0.7354 \times 10^{8-6}\\\\\text{Population density } = 0.7354 \times 10^2\\\\\text{Population density } = 73.541$

On rounding to nearest hundreth (two decimal places ), we get 73.54

Thus the population density is 73.54 people per square kilometer

If 2500 is to be divided among Ravi, Raju and Roy, so that Ravi gets two parts, Raju has

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The money each will get are 500 to Ravi , 750 to Raju and 1250 to Ravi. And there percentages are Ravi's 20%, Raju's 30% and Roy's 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2500 is to be divided among Ravi, Raju and Roy, so that Ravi gets two parts, Raju has three parts and Roy five parts.

Now, to find the money each will get and the percentages of it.

Let the price of one part be $x.$

The price of two parts be $2x.$

The price of three parts be $3x.$

And the price of five parts be $5x.$

According to question:

$2x+3x+5x=2500.$

$10x=2500$

Dividing both sides by 10 we get:

$x=250.$

Ravi gets two parts = $2x=2\times 250=500.$

Raju gets three parts = $3x=3\times 250=750.$

Roy gets five parts = $5x=5\times 250=1250.$

Now, the percentage of the money they get:

Percentage of Ravi's share:

$\frac{500}{2500} \times 100\\=\frac{50000}{2500} \\=20\%.$

Percentage of Raju's share:

$\frac{750}{2500} \times 100\\\\=30\%.$

Percentage of Roy's share:

$\frac{1250}{2500} \times 100\\\\=50\%.$

Therefore, the money each will get are 500 to Ravi , 750 to Raju and 1250 to Ravi. And there percentages are Ravi's 20%, Raju's 30% and Roy's 50%.
