Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Number of people = 6

Amount of Gold to be shared = 40lbs

Subtract 2/3 from your answer.

Therefore

If six people are to share 40lbs of gold evenly

= 40lbs / 6

Divide through by 2

= 20lbs / 3

= 20lbs / 3 - 2/3

= 18/3

= 6

Each person would get approximately 6lbs of gold

Answer:

1. Each individual gets 6\frac{2}{3}lb of gold

2. After subtracting by 1\frac{2}{3} , the result is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Size of Gold = 40 lbs

Number of people = 6

Required

1. Proportion of each individual

2. Subtract 1\frac{2}{3} from each proportion

1. Proportion of each individual

To calculate how many each individuals get (in other words, the proportion of each individual), we simply divide the total size of gold by the number of people

Mathematically,

Proportion = \frac{Total}{People}

Proportion = \frac{40}{6}

Reduce fraction to lowest term by dividing numerator and denominator by 2

Proportion = \frac{20}{3}

Convert to mixed fraction

Proportion = 6\frac{2}{3}

Hence each individual gets 6\frac{2}{3}lb of gold

2. Subtract 1\frac{2}{3} from each proportion

This is represented by

6\frac{2}{3} - 1\frac{2}{3}

Convert both fractions to improper fractions

= \frac{20}{3} - \frac{5}{3}

Find LCM of both fractions

= \frac{20 - 5}{3}

Subtract

= \frac{15}{3}

= 5

Hence, after subtracting by 1\frac{2}{3} , the result is 5

Answer:

The hypotenuse to the nearest tenth is 8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

Let a be the x leg and b be the y leg

a = 7 units

b= 4 units

7^2 + 4^2 = c^2

49+ 16 = c^2

65 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(65) = sqrt(c^2)

8.062257748 =c

To the nearest tenth

8.1 =c

Use the Law of Sines to find the length of AC
ddd [48]
<h3>Answer:  30.78181 meters</h3>

The value is approximate. Round that however you need to.

========================================================

Explanation:

  • lowercase a = side opposite angle uppercase A
  • lowercase b = side opposite angle uppercase B
  • b = AC

Using the law of sines, we can say:

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)

45/sin(30) = b/sin(20)

b/sin(20) = 45/sin(30)

b = sin(20)*45/sin(30)

b = 30.78181 approximately

You'll need to make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
