Answer:

Mary = $18

Jane = $30

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you need to do is find out how much each part is.  To do that you need to add each side of the ratio together (3 + 5 = 8).  THen you set up an equation showing the 8 parts * x = 48 and solve for x.

8x = 48

x = 6 <--  Value of each part

Now you multiply the 6 by the number on each side of the ratio,

Mary = 3 * 6 = 18

Jane = 5 * 6 = 30

The above is your answer.

Answer:

Mary- $18

Jane- $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numbers in the ratio together to get 8, and multiply 8 by the variable of x. Divide the total amount of money that both girls earned by 8. You will get x=6. Multiply 6 by 3 to get the amount of money Mary earned, which is 18, and multiply 6 by 5 to get the amount of money Jane earned, which is 30.

x(3+5) = $48

3x + 5x = $48

8x = $48

8x/8 = $48/8

x = $6

3($6):5($6) = $18:$30

Answer:

  -25            

 ——— = -2.08333

    12  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

           7

Simplify   —

           4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       1           7

 (0 -  —) +  (0 -  —)

       3           4

Step  2  :

           1

Simplify   —

           3

Equation at the end of step  2  :

       1     -7

 (0 -  —) +  ——

       3     4

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       3

     The right denominator is :       4

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Prime

Factor   Left

Denominator   Right

Denominator   L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

3 1 0 1

2 0 2 2

Product of all

Prime Factors  3 4 12

     Least Common Multiple:

     12

Calculating Multipliers :

3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 4

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 3

Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      -1 • 4

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               12  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      -7 • 3

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               12  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

-1 • 4 + -7 • 3     -25

———————————————  =  ———

      12            12

Final result :

 -25            

 ——— = -2.08333

 12

-2.7f + 0.3f - 16 - 4=
suter [353]

Answer:

-2.4f or -8 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what should be at the end of the equal sign but if it is to simplify it would be -2.4f-20

If you want to solve then you get -2.4f=20 so f=-20/2.4 which equal to -8 1/3
