Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative times a negative makes a positive, so:

Answer:
The answer is explained below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not complete we need point P and point Q.
let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4)
To find the coordinate of the point that divides a line segment PQ with point P at
and point Q at
in the proportion a:b, we use the formula:

line segment PQ is divided in the ratio 5:3 let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4). Therefore:

Answer:
Number of gallons of blue paint = 40 gallons
Number of gallons of red paint = 25 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the ratio:
Blue paint : Red paint =
8 : 5
Sum of proportion = 8 + 5 = 13
If the customer need 65 gallons of paint,
a) Number of gallons of blue paint needed =
8/13 × 65 gallons = 40 gallons
b) Number of gallons of red paint needed =
5/13 × 65 gallons = 25 gallons
Therefore:
Number of gallons of blue paint = 40 gallons
Number of gallons of red paint = 25 gallons
Let's call the length L, the width w.
We have w=1+L/4.
The perimeter is P=2(L+w)=24 hence L+w=12
L+w=L+(1+L/4)=5L/4+1=12
Hence L=11/5*4=8.8 meters
