Let's call their parts w,m and s
if will paid 1/3, then m+s=2w (they paid 2/3, which is twice as much as will did)
Now, we know that:
Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3.
this means the 3m=2s
and m=2/3s
Again:
m+s=2w
and we substitute m:
2/3s+s=2w
5/3s=2w// multiply both sides by 3
5s=6w
we also know that s=w+6 (from the last sentence) so we substitute:
5(w+6)=6w
5w+30=6w
30=w
so, Will paid 30, Sue paid 36 (six more than him), Mike paid 24 (24:36 is the same ratio as 2:3, you can check this by dividing both 24 and 36 by 12: you have 2 and 3)
and the total was 30+36+24=90.
831.05, I think that is the correct answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
get them some multiplication charts and use some examples like oreos or any type of cookies.
Answer:
19.9875 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula is given as:
Shadow of the student/Height of the student = Shadow of the telephone pole/Height of the telephone pole.
1 inch = 0.0833 feet
Shadow of the student = 5ft
Height of the student = 5 feet 4 inches
4 inches to feet
= 4 × 0.0833 feet
= 0.33 feet
Hence: Height of the student = 5 + 0.33 = 5.33 feet
Shadow of the telephone pole = 18 feet 9 inches long
9 inches to feet
= 9 × 0.0833 feet
= 0.75 feet
Hence: Shadow of the telephone pole = 18 + 0.75 = 18.75 feet
Height of the telephone pole= x
Therefore:
5/5.33 = 18.75/x
Cross Multiply
5x = 5.33 × 18.75
x = 5.33 × 18.75/5
x = 19.9875 feet
The height of the telephone pole = 19.9875 feet
I think the The answer 1/1 or1/2! If it is not correct then ask some one else
