Answer:

$1620

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of money * percent spent on fuel = amount spent on fuel

Substitute in what we know

Total amount of money * 20% = 324

Change to decimal form

Total amount of money *.20 = 324

Divide each side by .20

Total amount of money *.20/.20 = 324/.20

Total amount of money = 1620

Your answer is $1620.

To solve this, first look at what we're given. $324 is spent a month on fuel, and fuel is 20% of their income. Therefore, $324 is 20% of the family's income per month.

Now, to solve this, we're looking for 100% of the family's income. 20% is 1/5 of 100%, so therefore $324 is 1/5 of the family's full income.

To get 100%, then multiply 20% by 5 to get 100%, and therefore multiply $324 by 5 to get the full income.

$324 * 5 = 1620, or your answer.

Good luck!

Find the partial derivatives of the function w=4r2+6s2+
lyudmila [28]
I'm taking the liberty of editing your function as follows:  <span>w=4r^2+6s^2, where I use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation.

The partial of w with respect to r is 8r.  That with respect to s is 12s.</span>

1. The triangles above are similar. What is the ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters? (1 point)
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Ratio = 5/3

The ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters is 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Attached is an image of the two triangles.

Since both triangles are similar, the ratio of their perimeter is equal to the ratio of each similar sides.

Ratio = P1/P2 = S1/S2

Similar side for triangle 1 S1 = 15ft

Similar side for triangle 2 S2 = 9ft

Substituting the values;

Ratio = 15ft/9ft = 5/3

Ratio = 5/3

The ratio (larger to smaller) of the perimeters is 5/3
