Answer:

The first partner will receive $52950, the second partner will receive $35300, the third partner will receive $88250.

Step-by-step explanation:

The profits in the business are to be shared by the three partners in the ratio of 3 to 2 to 5, in that order.

That is:

3 : 2 : 5

The profit for the year was $176,500.

To find the number of dollars that each partner, we have to first find the total ratio and then divide each of the ratios by the total ratio and multiply by the profit.

The total ratio is:

3 + 2 + 5 = 10

The first partner will receive 3/10 of the profits:

\frac{3}{10} * 176500 = $52950

The second partner will receive 2/10 of the profits:

\frac{2}{10} * 176500 = $35300

The third partner will receive 5/10 of the profits:

\frac{5}{10} * 176500 = $88250

The first partner will receive $52950, the second partner will receive $35300, the third partner will receive $88250.

The ratio of dogs to cats in a zoo choir is 4 : 3. There are 6 more dogs than cats. If another 2 cats join the choir, what will
Fofino [41]

Answer:

6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

c = number of cats

d = number of dogs

d = c+6

Set up a ratio:

4/3 = d/c

Then replace d with c+6, so your equation only has one variable.

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{c+6}{c}

Cross multiply

4c = 3(c+6)

Multiply everything in the parentheses by 3.

4c = 3c + 18

Subtract 3c from both sides

4c - 3c = 18

c = 18

d = c + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24

If 2 more cats join, then you will have 20 cats and 24 dogs, so the ratio of dogs to cats will now be 24:20.  Divide each side by 4 for a ratio of 6:5.

Write down the indicated trigonometric value and write as decimal and round to thousandths place
mestny [16]

The trigonometric values for a right triangle can be obtained through the measurements of the different sides,

\begin{gathered} sin(\theta)=\frac{op}{hyp} \\ cos(\theta)=\frac{ad}{hyp} \\ tan(\theta)=\frac{op}{ad} \end{gathered}

this can be found in a triangle like this,

then, identify the measurements in the given triangle

then,

\begin{gathered} sin(A)=\frac{10}{26}=\frac{5}{13} \\ cos(A)=\frac{24}{26}=\frac{12}{13} \\ tan(A)=\frac{10}{24}=\frac{5}{12} \end{gathered}
