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

What number must multiply each side of the equation 25x=10 to produce the equivalent equation x = 25?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Multiply both sides by $\frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}x = 10$

Required

Get an equivalent of $x = 25$

To do this, we simply multiply through by $\frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{5}{2} * \frac{2}{5}x = 10 * \frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{5*2}{2*5} x = 10 * \frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{10}{10} x = 10 * \frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{1}{1} x = 10 * \frac{5}{2}$

$x = 10 * \frac{5}{2}$

$x =\frac{10*5}{2}$

$x =\frac{50}{2}$

$x = 25$
