Answer 180, 260 and 360

Step-by-step explanation

Eli age = 9

Freda age = 13

Geoff age = 18

We write the ages in ratio as 9 : 13 : 18

Now sum all the ages 9 + 13 + 18 = 40

The total amount to be shared is £800

Therefore Eli share = 9/40 x £800 = £180

Freda share = 13/40 x £800 = £260

Geoff share = 18/40 x £800 = £360

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio received = 9 : 13 : 18

Sum the parts of the ratio 9 + 13 + 18 = 40

Divide the amount by 40 to find the value of one part of the ratio

$\frac{800}{40}$ = £20 ← value of 1 part of ratio

Eli gets 9 × £20 = £180

Freda gets 13 × £20 = £260

Geoff gets 18 × £20 = £360

Answer:

r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first differences between successive terms are ...

10 -5 = 5

20 -10 = 10

The differences are not constant, so the sequence is NOT arithmetic.

The ratios of successive terms are ...

10/5 = 2

20/10 = 2

The ratios are constant, so the sequence is ...

geometric with a common ratio of 2.

A movie theater has n rows and m seats in each row. If each ticket costs $5.60, how much do all tickets to one movie cost?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

All Tickets to one movie cost $\$5.60 \times m\times n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of rows in theater = n

Number of seats in each row = m

Total number of seats in the theater = Number of rows in theater $\times$ Number of seats in each row= $m \times n$

Now given each ticket costs = $\$5.60$

So to find total of all tickets we need multiply each ticket cost by Total number of seats in the theater

Total tickets cost = each ticket cost $\times$ Total number of seats in the theater = $\$5.60 \times m \times n$
