The ratio is 4:3:1
let the ratio be 4x:3x:x
according to the question,4x+3x+x=40
8x=40
x=5
therefore amount of gravel=x*4=5*4=20 $m^{3}$
amount of sand=5*3=15 $m^{3}$
amount of cement=5*1=5 $m^{3}$

Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form.

Lorico [155]

We have that
<span>triangle ABC
where
A(-5, 5), B(1, 1), and C(3, 4) are the vertices

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

the hypotenuse is the segment AC

find the equation of the line AC
</span>A(-5, 5) C(3, 4)
<span>
step 1
find the slope m
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----> m=</span>(4-5)/(3+5)-----> m=-1/8

step 2
with C(3,4) and m=-1/8
find the equation of a line
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-4=(-1/8)*(x-3)----> y=(-1/8)*x+(3/8)+4
y=(-1/8)*x+(3/8)+4----> multiply by 8----> 8y=-x+3+32
8y=-x+35
the standard form is Ax+By=C
so
x+8y=35
A=1
B=8
C=35

the answer is
x+8y=35
