How do you divide 56$ in a ratio of 5:3? What would be the answer?

1 answer:

8 0

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)

aev [14]

This question is incomplete. Harlem sells 500 square feet at $750
cost per square foot = 500/750 = $1.50
10% of $1.50 is 0.15
cost per square foot - 10% discount = $1.50 - $0.15 = $1.35
Therefore, Guillens cost for 700 square foot is $1.35 * 700 = $945

Rod is paid $85 to install a screen door and $115 to install a wooden door. In one week he installed 18 doors and was paid a tot

Rainbow [258]

Answer:Rod installed 7 screen doors

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let the number of screen door = x

And the number of wooden doors = y

since he installed 18 doors , we have that

screen door + wooden doors = 18

x + y = 18------ equation 1

Also the cost to install a screen door -= $85

and to install a wooden door = $115

And he was therefore paid a total of $1850

Therefore

85x + 115 y = $1860------- equation 2

Step 2----- Solving

x + y = 18------ equation 1

85x + 115 y = $1860------- equation 2

Multiplying equation 1 BY 85

85x + 85y= 1530------- equation 3

85x + 115 y = $1860------- equation 4

subtracting from equation 1 from (2)

115y- 85y= 1860-1530

30y=330

y = 330/30 = 11

To find x

x+ y=18

x= 18-y

x= 18-11= 7

Rod installed 7 screen doors and 11 wooden doors.

What is the slop of the line?

miskamm [114]

The slope of the line is 2. Why? Well, see below for an explanation!

The slope of a line is found by using the formula rise/run (rise over run). This means that by starting at the initial value of the y-intercept, 3, we would count how many units away we are from the next complete point. We do so by counting from left to right, and in this case, going up and then to the right. To get from the point (0, 3) to the point (1, 5), we would move two spaces vertically along the y-axis and one space horizontally along the x-axis. Because the slope of the line is found using the formula m = rise over run, the slope would be 2/1 because we went up 2 points and to the right one. When simplifying, we will find that 2 divided by 1 equals 2. Hence, our slope is 2.

Your final answer: The slope of the line is 2/1 or 2. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
