Sarah and Henry share some sweets in the ratio 5:6.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Setler79 [48]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

48 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah to Henry ratio is 5 is to 6, we can say:

Sarah has 5x sweets

Henry has 6x sweets

After Sarah eats "16", the ratio is 1:2, so we can write:

\frac{5x-16}{6x}=\frac{1}{2}

Let us solve this equation for "x":

\frac{5x-16}{6x}=\frac{1}{2}\\2(5x-16)=6x\\10x-32=6x\\4x=32\\x=8

Henry had "6x" sweets, so Henry had:

6*8 = <u>48 sweets</u>

Answer:

It is TRUE for all Real numbers, i.e. [x] = ]x+1[ for all x∈R.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write given statement as [ x ]  = ] x+1 [

where [ x ] step function means next integer greater than or equal to x,

and ] y [ means last integer less than or equal to y.

Let's take an example of x = 2.5

So  [ 2.5 ] = 3.

and ] 2.5 + 1 [ = ] 3.5 [ = 3.

Similarly, we can take any example of Real numbers like 3.7, 4.2, 5.6, 8.9 etc.

It is TRUE for all Real numbers, i.e. [x] = ]x+1[ for all x∈R.
