Gordon, Henry and Sarah share £48 in a ratio 2:3:1. How much money does each person get?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

Gordon gets 16£, Henry gets 24£ and Sarah gets 8£

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be 2x + 3x + 1x

Total amount = £48

So;

2x + 3x + x = 48

6x = 48

x = 48 / 6

x = 8

Now

2x = 16

3x = 24

x = 8

Answer:

<h2>x = 5</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4(1-2x)-1=7x\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(-4)(1)+(-4)(-2x)-1=7x\\\\-4+8x-1=7x\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\8x+(-4-1)=7x\\\\8x-5=7x\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\8x-5+5=7x+5\\\\8x=7x+5\qquad\text{subtract}\ 7x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-7x=7x-7x+5\\\\x=5$

What is the distance between (-6,4) and (-8,6)? Choose 1 answer:

lukranit [14]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the distance between (-6, 4) and (-8, 6).

We can use the distance formula given by:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2$

Let (-6, 4) be (x₁, y₁) and let (-8, 6) be (x₂, y₂).

Substitute:

$d=\sqrt{(-8-(-6))^2+(6-4)^2$

Evaluate:

$d=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(2)^2$

Evaluate:

$d=\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8}$

Hence, our answer is D.
