For this case, what we are going to do is divide the profits in equal parts, beginning in the following way:
Nina and Phillip:
Nina: 1/2
Phillip: 1/2
Then, we have:
Phillip shared his half equally with his friends, Ezra, and Benjamin.
Therefore, we must divide Phillip's earnings by three:
(1/2) / (3) = 1/6
Finally:
Phillip: 1/6
Ezra: 1/6
Benjamin: 1/6
Answer:
Nina: 1/2
Phillip: 1/6
Ezra: 1/6
Benjamin: 1/6

John was visiting four cities that form a rectangle on a coordinate grid at A(0, 4), B(4, 2), C(1, -4) and D(-3, -2). What is th

allsm [11]

Answer:

$Area = 30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle coordinates

$A = (0,4)$

$B = (4,2)$

$C = (1,-4)$

$D =(-3,-2)$

Required

The area of the rectangle

The area is calculated as:

$Area = Length* Width$

The length of the rectangle will be represented as:

$Length = AB = CD$

And the width is:

$Width = BC = AD$

Calculate distance AB using:

$AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 +(y_1 - y_2)^2 }$

Where:

$A = (0,4)$ --- $(x_1,y_1)$

$B = (4,2)$ $--- (x_2,y_2)$

$AB = \sqrt{(0 - 4)^2 +(4 - 2)^2 }$

$AB = \sqrt{(- 4)^2 +(2)^2 }$

$AB = \sqrt{16 +4 }$

$AB = \sqrt{20}$

Calculate distance BC using:

$BC = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 +(y_1 - y_2)^2 }$

$C = (1,-4)$ $---(x_1,y_1)$

$B = (4,2)$ $--- (x_2,y_2)$

$BC = \sqrt{(1 - 4)^2 +(-4 - 2)^2 }$

$BC = \sqrt{(- 3)^2 +(-6)^2 }$

$BC = \sqrt{9 +36}$

$BC = \sqrt{45}$

So, the area is:

$Area = Length * Width$

$Area = AB * BC$

$Area = \sqrt{20} * \sqrt{45}$

$Area = \sqrt{20 * 45}$

$Area = \sqrt{900$

$Area = 30$

A bus can carry a maximum of 60 passengers. Each row accommodates the same number of passengers. If two rows are added then each

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

10 rows with 6 passengers per row

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of rows and y the number of passengers per row.

Then we can interpret the story as the following two equations:

xy=60

(x+2)(y-1)=60

Solving these two equations:

y=60/x

(x+2)(60/x-1)=60 (substitute y)

60 - x + 120/x - 2 = 60 (multiply by -x)

x² + 2x - 120 = 0 (factor)

(x-10)(x+12) = 0

x = 10

y = 60/10 = 6

and indeed 10 * 6 = 60 and also 12 * 5 = 60

What two numbers multiply to -50 and add up to -23

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

-25 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -23

xy = 50, so y = 50 /x

.

x + 50/x =-23, x^2 +23x - 50 = (x-2)(x+25)

so 2 and -25
