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

Use the given graph to determine the limit, if it exists.

Delvig [45]

Good evening.

We want:

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 3^+}f(x)$

The function is <em>not continuous</em> in 3, and f(3) = 7, but, as we approach to 3 from right, we are always in f(x) = 3.

We can approach to indefinitely close to x = 3 from right, and the function will be always in 3. Therefore, we conclude that:

$\boxed{\displaystyle\lim_{x\to3^+}f(x) = 3}$

1)The price of a pair of boot was reduced from $80 to $60. By what percentage

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

1) 25%

2) $17.54

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The boots were reduced from $80 to $60, therefore the total amount they were reduced by in terms of money is $20. To find out what percentage $20 is of $80, you divide.

20/80 = 0.25

0.25 = 25 % (to change a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100)

2) 20% = 0.20 (to change a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100)

To find 20% of $87.70, multiply 0.20 by 87.70.

87.70 x 0.20 = 17.54
