Answer:

196

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the largest share was 56 and the largest ratio is 14, then

56 ÷ 14 = 4 ← value of 1 part of the share, thus

8 parts = 8 × 4 = 32

6 parts = 6 × 4 = 24

9 parts = 9 × 4 = 36

14 parts = 14 × 4 = 56

12 parts = 12 × 4 = 48

Total the amounts

total = 32 + 24 + 36 + 56 + 48 = 196

5. The length of a rectangular swimming pool is 50 yards, and the width of the pool is 16
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The answer is C. I got this by doing a^2 + b^2= c^2. 50^2 + 16^2=c^2, 2500 + 256 = c^2, 2756 = c^2, then you take the square root of 2756 and that gives you your answer 52.50 yards. Hope this helps :D

The sum of three numbers is 62. The second number is equal to the first number diminished by 4. The third number is four times t
alexdok [17]
Let the three numbers be x, y and z respectively, then
x + y + z = 62 . . . (1)
y = x - 4 . . . (2)
z = 4x . . . (3)

The above three expressions could be used to represent the numbers.

Solving the three equations, putting (2) and (3) into (1) gives
x + x - 4 + 4x = 62
6x - 4 = 62
6x = 62 + 4 = 66
x = 66/6 = 11
x = 11.
y = 11 - 4 = 7
z = 4(11) = 44

x = 11, y = 7, z = 44.
