To answer this, you insert 16 in for X to get 48. Since there is a negative sign, 48 becomes -48. Then, replace Y with 14 to get 70. You are left to solve -48 + 70. I don't know why you would need a fraction, but if you do just put (answer)/1
10 to the 2nd power is 100
Let the weight of the full Volume of nails in the box be W.
Let the weight of the box be B.
2/3 W + B = 130 ........i From the first statement.
3/8 W + B = 74 ......ii From the second statement.
Equation (i) Minus (ii)
2/3 W - 3/8 W + B - B = 130 - 74
(16W - 9W) / 24 = 56
7W / 24 = 56.
W = 56 * 24 / 7
W = 192 Pounds.
Substituting V = 64 in equation (i)
2/3 W + B = 130
2/3 * 192 + B = 130
2 * 64 + B = 130
128 + B = 130
B = 130 -128 = 2.
Therefore, weight of box, B = 2 pounds.
Given:
Two brothers are sharing a certain sum of money in the ratio
.
The largest share was Gh¢500.00.
To find:
The total amount shared between them.
Solution:
It is given that, two brothers are sharing a certain sum of money in the ratio
.
First we need to make the denominators common.
![Ratio=\dfrac{2\times 5}{3\times 5}:\dfrac{3\times 3}{5\times 3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ratio%3D%5Cdfrac%7B2%5Ctimes%205%7D%7B3%5Ctimes%205%7D%3A%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Ctimes%203%7D%7B5%5Ctimes%203%7D)
![Ratio=\dfrac{10}{15}:\dfrac{9}{15}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ratio%3D%5Cdfrac%7B10%7D%7B15%7D%3A%5Cdfrac%7B9%7D%7B15%7D)
![Ratio=10:9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Ratio%3D10%3A9)
So, the two brothers are sharing a certain sum of money in the ratio 10:9.
Let the shares of two brothers are 10x and 9x respectively. So, the larger share is 10x.
It is given that the largest share was Gh¢500.00.
![10x=500](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=10x%3D500)
![x=\dfrac{500}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D%5Cdfrac%7B500%7D%7B10%7D)
![x=50](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3D50)
Now, the total amount shared between them is:
![Total=10x+9x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Total%3D10x%2B9x)
![Total=19x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Total%3D19x)
![Total=19(50)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Total%3D19%2850%29)
![Total=950](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Total%3D950)
Therefore, the total amount shared between them is Gh¢950.00.
