Colin and Dan win some money and share it in the ratio 4:5. Colin gets £52. How much did they win in total?

Mathematics

JulsSmile [24]3 years ago

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.

Can someone please help me
Vsevolod [243]
The restrictions for the equation is that the denominator can not be zero. So the restrictions for x would be what values make the denominator zero.

7x^2 + 6x = 0
factor
x(7x + 6) = 0
multiply any number by 0 and you get 0. So either x = 0 or 7x+6 = 0
since there's a x in the numerator x/x = 1 so this will not be a restriction. Then the only restriction is:
7x+6 = 0
7x = -6
x = -6/7

Jim makes $480 in a 4-week period helping his grandfather on the farm, He spends an average of 15 hours a week
marin [14]

Answer:

he makes $8 an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he makes $480 over 4 weeks you divide that by 4 and you should get 120. So that means he makes $120 in one week and since he works 15 hours a week you divide 120 by 15 and you should get 8

The intersection of two planes can be a line true or false
Gennadij [26K]
True.

Let's say that you have two pieces of paper that both represent planes. If you cross them, you'll be able to see that the intersection of these two pieces of paper is a line.
