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

Which graph represents the equation -5x+4y>-1?
galben [10]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

The inequality sign has an "or equal to", which means the boundary line will be solid. We can rule out choices B and C because they have dashed boundary lines.

A solid boundary line means that points on the boundary are part of the solution set.

Now let's see what happens when we plug in a point like (x,y) = (4,0). This will tell us how to shade the blue region.

-5x + 4y \ge -1 \\\\-5(4) + 4(0) \ge -1 \\\\-20 \ge -1 \\\\

This is false because -20 is not larger than -1. It's the other way around.

This tells us the point (4,0) is not in the blue shaded region, and it's not on the boundary line either. We can rule out choice A because of this.

The only thing left is choice D, which is the final answer. I recommend plugging a point from this region into the inequality to confirm we have a true statement.

The depths of two scuba divers exploring a living coral reef are shown. a. Write an integer for the position of each diver relat
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

a: left = 14 feet

   right = 18 feet

b: 18 is significant

c: absolute value is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The position of the diver on the left relative to the sea level is 14 feet.

The position of a diver on the right to sea level is 18 feet.

b)

integer 18 in part (a) is more significant.

c)

Absolute value is the distance and the zero on the number line.

Absolute value of |18| = 18

Absolute value of |14| = 14

Hence the most excellent absolute value is 18.

What is a translation rule that maps point D(7,-3) onto point D(2,5) ?
tigry1 [53]
So then you would be going back 5 and up 8

To get from 7 to 2 you go back 5 (-5) 
To get from -3 to 5 you go up 8 

So... (-5,8)

Hope this helps :))
