Mathematics

Anestetic [448]3 years ago
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

Find the reciprocal
Sav [38]

Answer:

Depends on what number(s)/fraction(s) your working with.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the reciprocal of a fraction by flipping it. The definition of "reciprocal" is simple. To find the reciprocal of any number, just calculate "1 ÷ (that number)." For a fraction, the reciprocal is just a different fraction, with the numbers "flipped" upside down (inverted).

Find the equation of the circle with center at the origin that contains the point (-8,6)
Katena32 [7]
The center is at origin O(0,0).
If it contains the point, P(-8,6), then the radius r is, by Pythagoras theorem,
r=sqrt((-8)^2+6^2)=10

The general equation of a circle at centre (xc,yc) with radius r is given by
(x-xc)^2+(y-yc)^2=r^2

Substituting r=10, (xc,yc)=(0,0)
the resulting equation is therefore

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=10^2
or simply
x^2+y^2=100

90 \leqslant x \leqslant 150

Step-by-step explanation:

You need at least $90 dollars, so x will be bigger than or equal to that amount.

Your parents don't want to give you more than $150 dollars so x is smaller than or equal to that amount.
