Answers:

  • Eli gets £180
  • Freda gets £260
  • Geoff gets £360

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let x be some positive real number.

Since each person gets a share of the money based on their ages, we can say that

  • Eli gets 9x pounds
  • Freda gets 13x pounds
  • Geoff gets 18x pounds

The ratio 9x:13x:18x reduces to 9:13:18 when dividing everything by x.

Add up their shares, set the sum equal to 800 pounds, and solve for x.

9x+13x+18x = 800

40x = 800

x = 800/40

x = 20

We can then use this to find each person's share

  • Eli = 9x = 9*20 = 180 pounds
  • Freda = 13x = 13*20 = 260 pounds
  • Geoff = 18x = 18*20 = 360 pounds

As a check: 180+260+360 = 800 which confirms we have the correct split among the three people.

Notice how the ratio 180:260:360 fully reduces to 9:13:18 when you divide each part by the GCF 20.

Answer:

eli= £180, freda = £260, geoff = £360

Step-by-step explanation:

eli : freda : geoff

9   :    13    :  18

9 + 13 + 18 = 40 parts

800 / 40 = 20

therefore 1 part = £20

20 x 9 = £180

20 x 13 = £260

20 x 18 = £360

The area of a rectangle is 42 square inches. the length is 7 inches.what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
andrew11 [14]

In order to find the perimeter, we need to have the length and the width. We are told that the area of the rectangle is 42. We will use that in the area formula, length times width, to solve for w. 42 = 7w so w = 6. The length is 7 and the width is 6. The perimeter formula for a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. We have both the length and the width now, so we fill in accordingly. P = 2(7) + 2(6). And P=14+12. The perimeter then is 26 inches.

La un concurs de matematica se dau 40 de probleme. Pentr fiecare raspuns corect se acorda 7 puncte, iar pentru fiecare raspuns g
Ratling [72]

Answer:

a primit 36 ​​corect ane 4 în mod greșit

Step-by-step explanation:

În această întrebare, ne preocupăm să calculăm numărul de răspunsuri corecte și de răspunsuri greșite pe care elevul le-a dat.

În primul rând, începem prin atribuirea de variabile.

Numărul de răspunsuri corecte să fie x în timp ce numărul de răspunsuri greșite să fie y

Deoarece există 40 de probleme în total, aceasta înseamnă că adăugarea ambelor este egală cu 40 matematic,

x + y = 40. ••• (i)

Acum să trecem la partea complicată. Fiecare răspuns corect = +7. Răspunsul corect total este astfel + 7x Fiecare răspuns greșit este = -5. Răspunsul total greșit este astfel -5y Punct total marcat = 232 Aceasta

înseamnă că; 7x -5y = 232 ••••••••• (ii)

De la i, putem spune y = 40 -x să punem acest lucru în ecuație

ii 7x -5 (40-x) = 232

7x - 200 + 5x = 232

12x = 232 + 200 12x = 432 x = 432/12 x = 36 Deoarece y = 40 - x y = 40 - 36 y = 4
