Answer:

£39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Gavyn's share = x

Since, Sarah gets £26 more than Gavyn.

Sarah's Share = x+26

Equating the Ratio of their Shares and the actual sum received

x+26 : x = 5:3

Converting to Fractions

\dfrac{x+26}{x}=\dfrac{5}{3}

Cross multiply

5x=3(x+26)

5x=3x+78

5x-3x=78

2x=78

Divide both sides by 2

x=39

Therefore: Gavyn's share x = £39

There are 3,785 milliliters in 1 gallon, and there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon. For each question, explain or show reasoning.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

There are 11,355 milliliters in 3 gallons, and 946.25 milliliters in 1 quart.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 3,785 milliliters in 1 gallon, multiply each side by 3 because you want the product to equal 3 gallons.3,785 times 3 is equal to 11,355, and 1 times 3 is 3. So, 3 gallons are equal to 11,355 milliliters. If there are 3,785 milliliters in 1 gallon, and there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon, that means that there are 3,785 milliliters in 4 quarts. Now, you want to find the amount of milliliters in 1 quart so you should divide both the 3,785 and the 4 by 4. So, there are 946.25 milliliters in 1 quart.

9966 [12]

Answer:

X= 7 I hope this helped!

<u>Steps for equation/answer :</u>

1.Divide both sides by 3.

4x+9= 111/3

2.Simplify 111/3 to  37.

4x+9=37

3.Subtract 9 from both sides.

4x=37−9

4. Simplify  37-9  to  28.

4x=28

5. Divide both sides by 4.

x = 28/4

6. Simplify 28/4 to 7

x=7

What is the solution to8(5-r)/5=-2r
Dmitry [639]

Expand 8(5-r)/5=-2r as indicated: 40 - 8r

----------- = - 2r

5

Multiply both sides by 5, obtaining 40 - 8r = - 10r

Combine like terms: 40 = - 2r

Divide both sides by -2: -20 = r

The solution to 8(5-r)/5=-2r is -20. Verify this by subbing -20 for r in the given equation.
