3 0

Answer:

60 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ratio = 2 + 2 +5 = 9

Let x = total sweets shared

Dan got 2/9 of x. This is equal to 24

the equation for this is - $\frac{2}{9}$ × x = 24

to solve for x, divide both sides by $\frac{9}{2}$

x = 108 = total sweet shared

sweets malachy got = $\frac{5}9}$ x 108 = 60 sweets

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz

KIM [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the coordinates of pointD if A(2,-6), B(10,2) and point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio m:n, then

$D\left(\dfrac{nx_A+mx_B}{m+n},\dfrac{ny_A+my_B}{m+n}\right)$

$D\left(\dfrac{3\cdot 2+5\cdot 10}{5+3},\dfrac{3\cdot (-6)+5\cdot 2B}{5+3}\right)=D(7,-1)$

Point C has the x-coordinate the same as point A and the y-coordinate the same as point D.

Thus, C(2,-1)
