First write the equation
3/n = 5
Multiply both sides by n
3/n * n = 5 * n
Simplify
3 = 5 * n
Divide both sides by 5
3/5 = 5 * n/5
Simplify
3/5 = n
Divide
0.6 = n
So 3/0.6 = 5
The point-slope form:
We have the points (5, -3) and (-2, 9). Substitute:
<span>A has earned twice as much as B so: A=2B
B has averaged 50% more than C so: B=C+0.5C
Combined is 220K, So A+B+C=220,000
The last equation can be re-written as:
2B+1.5C+C=220K
AND since A=2B, it can be rewritten again as:
3C+1.5C+C=220K
Now you can get C
finally, since B=1.5C you can get B, then to get the average, just divide that by 3 (years) and you should be done.
So B = 60000 for 3 years</span>
1 3/4 of the cup will be the other liquid because if you take 1/4 from 2, that would be 1 3/4.
