Answer: Paul gets £186

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul has 1/2 as much as Malachy, and Brian has 1/3 as much Paul, therefore Brian has 1/6 as much as Malachy.

1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6

So Malachy’s amount equals 1 in this equation, Paul’s amount equals 1/2 in this equation, and Brian’s amount equals 1/6 in this equation.

1 + 1/2 + 1/6 = 1 + 3/6 + 1/6 = 1 4/6

Now, divide 620 by 1 4/6 to find Malachy’s amount.

620/1 4/6 = 372

Now, divde 372 by 2 to get Paul’s amount.

372/2 = 186

The width of a rectangular field is 20 feet less than its length. The area of the field is 12,000 ft? What is the length of the
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The answer is 120 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the field (A) is:

A = w · l       (w - width, l - length)

It is known:

A = 12,000 ft²

l = w - 20

So, let's replace this in the formula for the area of the field:

12,000 = w · (w - 20)

12,000 = w² - 20

⇒ w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0

This is quadratic equation. Based on the quadratic formula:

ax² + bx + c = 0      ⇒  

In the equation w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0, a = 1, b = -20, c = -12000

Thus:

So, width w can be either

or

Since, the width cannot be a negative number, the width of the field is 120 feet.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

\dfrac{1 - 6 \ln y}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

\ln \dfrac{\sqrt{e}}{y^3} =

= \ln \dfrac{e^\frac{1}{2}}{y^3}

= \ln e^\frac{1}{2} - \ln y^3

= \dfrac{1}{2} \ln e - 3 \ln y

= \dfrac{1}{2} - 3 \ln y

= \dfrac{1 - 6 \ln y}{2}
