Answer:

After 3 weeks they both will have the same amount in their savings account.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount saved by Haley = $155

Amount saved by Hank = $230

Amount saving each week by Haley = $10

Amount spending each week by Hank = $15

We need to find Number of weeks when both both will have same amount in savings account.

Solution:

Let Number of week be 'x'.

Total Amount of Haley can be calculated by Amount saved by Haley plus Amount saving each week by Haley multiplied by number of weeks.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Amount of Haley = 155+10x

Also;

Total Amount of Hank can be calculated by Amount saved by Hank minus Amount spending each week by Hank multiplied by number of weeks.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Amount of Hank = 230-15x

Now we need to find the number of weeks when both will have same amount.

To find the same we will have to make both the equation equal.

So we can say.

155+10x=230-15x

On Solving above equation we get;

We will combine the like terms together;

10x+15x =230-155\\\\25x = 75

Now Dividing both side by 25 using Division property of equality we get;

\frac{25x}{25} = \frac{75}{25}\\\\x=3 \ weeks

Hence, After 3 weeks they both will have the same amount in their savings account.

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 7:1. If there are 66 more boys than girls, work out how many girls there are
nevsk [136]

Answer:11

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : girls=7:1

Sum of ratio=7+1=8

Let them number of girls be y

Then they number of boys=y+66

Total number of pupils=y+y+66

Total number of pupils=2y+66

Number of girls=(girls ratio)/(sum of ratio) x (total number of pupils)

y=1/8 x (2y+66)

Cross multiply

y x 8=2y + 66

8y=2y + 66

Collect like terms

8y-2y=66

6y=66

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6=66/6

y=11

The number of girls is 11

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! I NEED CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle DEF is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

DE represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With ∠E as the reference angle,

EF represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

DF represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine EF, we would apply

trigonometric ratio

Cos θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos 49 = EF/8

EF = 8Cos49 = 8 × 0.6561

EF = 5.2488

Rounding to the nearest tenth, it becomes 5.2
