Answer:
a) 16: 24
b)  £600 : £1400
c)  6 : 12 : 18


40 in the ratio 2 : 3 

To split an amount based on ratio 2:3 , first, we need to find the total share.

-------------------------------------------------
Find total shares
-------------------------------------------------
2+3 = 5

Then we need to find the the amount of 1 share worth 

-------------------------------------------------
Find 1 share
-------------------------------------------------
5 shares = 40                ← divide by 5 on both sides
÷ 5             ÷ 5 
1 share = 8 

Now that we know one share is 8, we need to find the amount according to the shares allocation, which is 2 and 3 in this question.

-------------------------------------------------
Find 2 shares
-------------------------------------------------
1 share = 8                    ← multiply by 2 on both sides
x2           x2
2 shares = 16

-------------------------------------------------
Find 3 shares
-------------------------------------------------
1 share = 8
x3            x3
3 shares = 24

The ratio is 2 : 3. The 40 is therefore the amount split as 16:24

-------------------------------------------------
Answer: 16: 24
-------------------------------------------------

£2000 in the ratio 3: 7

To split the £2000 into the ratio 3:7, first, we need to find the total shares.

-------------------------------------------------
Find total shares
-------------------------------------------------
3 + 7 = 10

Then we find the 1 share worth
-------------------------------------------------
Find 1 share
-------------------------------------------------
10 shares = £2000              ← divide by 10 on both sides
÷10              ÷10
1 share = £200

Now that we know 1 share is worth £200, we need to find the shares according to the ratio allocation.

-------------------------------------------------
Find 3 shares
-------------------------------------------------
1 share = £200                    ← multiply 3 on both sides
x3             x3
3 shares = £600

-------------------------------------------------
Find 7 shares
-------------------------------------------------
1 share = £200                         ← multiply by 7 on both sides
x7            x7
7 shares = £1400

The ratio 3 : 7, the £2000 is spilt into £600 : £1400

-------------------------------------------------
Answer: £600 : £1400
------------------------------------------------

36 kg into the ratio 1:2:3

To spilt the 36kg, first we find the total number of shares

------------------------------------------------
Find total shares
------------------------------------------------
1 + 2 + 3 = 6

36 kg is split into 6 shares. We need to find the allocation of 1 share.
------------------------------------------------
Find 1 share
------------------------------------------------
6 shares = 36              ← divide by 6 on both sides
÷6             ÷6
1share = 6kg

The allocation of 1 share is 6kg. Now find 2 shares and 3 shares

------------------------------------------------
Find 2 shares
------------------------------------------------
1 share = 6kg                 ← multiply by2 on both sides
x2            x2
2 shares = 12kg

------------------------------------------------
Find 3 shares
------------------------------------------------
1 share = 6 kg            ← multiply by 2 on both sides
x3            x3
3shares = 18kg

The ratio is 1:2:3. 36kg is spilt into 6: 12: 18

------------------------------------------------
Answer: 6 : 12 : 18
------------------------------------------------

Whoops i forgot to read the lesson :P 30 points

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll do 2.

Alright,Alex let say we have factored a quadratic into two binomial, for example

(5x + 3)(6x - 4)

If we set both of those equal to zero

(5x + 3)(6x + 4) = 0

We can used the zero product property in this case to find the roots of the quadratic equation.

This means that

if  \: ab = 0 \: then \: a = 0 \: and \: b = 0

This means we set each binomal equal to zero to find it root.

5x + 3 = 0

5x =  - 3

x =  -  \frac{3}{5}

6x + 4 = 0

6x =  - 4

x =  -  \frac{2}{3}

So our roots are negative 3/5 and negative 2/3 using zero product property

Name an equivalent ratio for 1/2 with a denominator of 20
Westkost [7]
To begin with, equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole number. So I need to find a fraction, with a denominator of 20, that is the same value as 1/2: 
1/2 = ?/20
1*10/2*10 = 10/20

Since the denominator needed to be 20, I multiplied the numerator and the denominator (1/2) by 10 to get 10/20. So, 1/2 and 10/20 are equivalent.
