Let the stones of each piles be x, y and z respectively.

thus, x + y + z = 376

x=x
y = x + 24
z= 2y = 2(x+24)

This becomes x + x + 24 + 2(x+24) = 376

= 4x + 24 + 48 = 376

= 4x + 72 = 376

Thus, 4x = 304

Thus, x = 76

and y = 76 + 24 = 100

and z = 2 x 100 = 200

Thus, first pile has 76 stones, second pile has 100 stones and third pile has 200 stones

Answer:

Gross Base pay is equals to $129

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross base pay can be defined as the pay per hour which has been discussed and finalized by the employer and employee at the time of job offering. It is the minimum amount of pay the employee is to receive. The tips, bonuses, allowances are not considered in the Gross base pay. Moreover, it is the basic pay an employee gets before any kind of tax deductions..

Gross base pay can easily be calculated by multiplying the pay per hour with the number of hours worked.

Pay per hour = $8.60

Numbers of hours worked = 15

Gross Base Pay = 8.60×15 = $129

I forgot how to divide fractions properly. please send help.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.5 or 10/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2÷4/5  

Integers can be fractions. Which are just the summation of equal parts. So integers can be written in any fractional form as you like,

2/1÷4/5

But turning your fraction into an integer is not enough to divide, you must first use the reciprocal form of your dividend. and then you multiply to obtain your answer. (The reason is that division is multiplication of the reciprocal)

2/1×5/4

And tadaa! you get your answer

10/4

You can also simplify it!

5/2
