A sum of money is divided among Khairul, Michael and Ethan in the ratio

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

$360

Step-by-step explanation:

The intial ratio of the sum shared between Khairul, Michael and Ethan is 6 : 4 : 5.

This would be 6x : 4x : 5x

Khairul gives $30 to Michael and $15.

The ratio is. Now;

(6x - 45) : (4x + 30) : (5x + 15)

We are told this is equal to the ratio 7:6:7

Thus;

((6x - 45) + (4x + 30))/(5x + 15) = (7 + 6)/7

(10x - 15)/(5x + 15) = 13/7

Factorize the left hand side;

5(2x - 3)/5(x + 3) = 13/7

5 will cancel out to get;

(2x - 3)/(x + 3) = 13/7

Cross multiply to get;

7(2x - 3) = 13(x + 3)

14x - 21 = 13x + 39

14x - 13x = 39 + 21

x = 60

Amount Khairul had initially was denoted as 6x.

Thus,6x = 5 × 60 = $360

You can either find the roots of the quadratic formula using the quadratic formula two find the halfway point or you can use the formula t=-b/2a.  Both of the two methods gives you the axis of symmetry (the t value for the vertex).
I will use the second method since I don't like using the quadratic formula.
t=-32/(2x-16)
t=1 second
After you find the t value for the axis of symmetry, you plug it into the formula of the graph to find the height.
h=-16+32+14
h=30 feet

fomenos

Answer:

x is 35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we will divide the volume by the cross-section

Mathematically, that will be;

4375/125 = 35 cm

Suppose a is jointly proportional to b and c. if a=4 when b=8 and c = 9, then what is a when b=2 and c=18
asambeis [7]

From the given information, a exists jointly proportional to b and c.

then $$a \propto b c$

Therefore, the value of a exists 2.

<h3>What is the value of a?</h3>

Given, a exists jointly proportional to b and c.

$$a \propto b c$

Taking K as the constant of proportionality.

a = K b c

For b = 8 and c = 9, the value of a = 4

4 = K(8)(9)

4 = 72 K

Dividing the equation by 72, we get

$K=\frac{1}{18}

Using the value of K in the equation:

$a=\frac{b c}{18}

Substitute the values of b = 2 and c = 18, in the above equation

$a=\frac{2 \times 18}{18} \\

a = 2

Therefore, the value of a exists 2.
