Answer:

They won £117 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two methods to solve the question.

  • Finding the total amount directly
  • Finding Dan's share and adding it to Colin's share

It is given that the ratio is 4:5

Let x be the share of Dan

The ratio between Colin and Dan's share will be 52/x and it should simplify to 4/5

\frac{4}{5} = \frac{52}{x}\\4x = 52*5\\4x = 260\\\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{260}{4}\\x = 65

The total amount will be:

Dan's\ share+ Colin's\ share = 52+65 = 117

Hence,

They won £117 in total.

4 - ⅛w &lt; 16<br> can someone plz anwser and show work
padilas [110]

Step-by-step explanation:

so first convert it into an algebraic equation

4 - ⅛w = 16

⅛w = 16-4

⅛w = 12

w=12÷ \frac{1}{8}

w=12×8=96

check: 4 - ⅛(96)=4-12=-8

-8<16 (-8 less than 16)

Given segment AC and point B that lies on AC,
ololo11 [35]

The total length of the segment AC is the sum of AB and CB, which gives, CB = 9

<h3>How can the length of CB be found?</h3>

The given parameters are;

  • AC = 17
  • AB = 32 + 3•x
  • CB = 57 + 6•x

Required: <em>CB</em>

Solution:

AC = <em>AB + CB</em> by segment addition property

Therefore;

AC = 17 = 32 + 3•x + 57 + 6•x = 89 + 9•x

17 = 89 + 9•x

x =  \frac{17 - 89}{9}  =  - 8

CB = 57 + 6•x = 57 + 6 × (-8) = 9

Therefore;

  • <u>CB = 9</u>
