Sum the ratio:

s = 5 + 3 = 8

to get the first amount:

a1 = (3/8) * 56 = 21 $

a2 = (5/8) * 56 = 35 $

Check:

total = 21 + 35 = 56 $ ( as given)

ratio = 35/21 = 5/3 (as required)

Ms. Lunette has 18 students in her class. She wants to send 3 of these students to pick up books for the class.

The number of possible combinations is given by

... C(18, 3) = 18!/(3!(18-3)!) = 18·17·16/(3·2·1) = 816 . . . . possible combinations

_____

There are 18 ways to choose the first one; 17 ways to choose the second one, and 16 ways to choose the 3rd one. The same 3 students can be chosen in any of 3! = 6 different orders, so the product 18·17·16 must be divided by 6 to get the number of possible combinations in which order doesn't matter.

Answer: The perimeter of the largest triangle = 117 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of smaller triangle = 10,20 and 15 units

Longest side = 20 units

Longest side of larger triangle = 52 units

Sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

Let k be proportionality constant.

$k=\dfrac{\text{Length in larger triangle}}{\text{Length in smaller triangle}}$

$k=\dfrac{52}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ k=\dfrac{13}{5}$

Length of other two sides,

$10\times\dfrac{13}{5}, 15\times\dfrac{13}{5}\ i.e.\ 26\text{ units}, 39\text{ units.}$

So sides of larger triangle = 52 units, 26 units , 39 units

Perimeter of largest triangle = 52 +26+39 = 117 units

Hence, the perimeter of the largest triangle = 117 units.
