Aunty Joan packs a packet of sweets to Alice and Olivia. Alice and Olivia share sweets in the ratio 7:3. Alice gives 3 sweets to

aivan3 [116]

Initially, Alice had 28 sweets and Olivia 12 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

First assume that Aunty Joan has x number sweets.

Alice and Olivia shared the x sweets in a ration of 7:3, this means

Alice had 7/10 x sweets and Olivia had 3/10 sweets.

Alice gives 3 sweets to Olivia, Alice will remain with ;

$\frac{7}{10} x-3$

Then the new ratio changes to 5:3 which means Alice will have 5/8 x number of sweets.

Equate the number of sweets for Alice in the two cases, which is

$\frac{5}{8}x=\frac{7}{10} x-3\\ \\\frac{7}{10} x-\frac{5}{8} x=3\\$

$\frac{56x-50x}{80} =3\\\\\\\frac{6}{80} x=3\\\\\\6x=80*3\\\\\\x=240/6\\\\x=40$

So there were 40 sweets at first

Using the ratio of 7:3 then

Alice had 7/10 *40 = 28 sweets

Olivia had 3/10*40= 12 sweets

Alice gave Olivia 3 sweets, so she will remain with 28-3 =25 sweets. Olivia will now have 15 sweets.The new ratio will be 25:15 simplified as 5:3.

78+139+14 = 231

231/44 = 5.25

Or 21/4 (improper fraction)

Or 5 and 1/4 (mixed number)

I'm not exactly sure what you were asking I hope that helps!

Write a polynomial function in standard form with zeros at −3, −1, and 1.

Annette [7]

Answer:

$f(x) = {x}^{3} + 3 {x}^{2} - x -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial has zeros at:

x=−3, x=−1, and x=1.

This means that:

x+3, x+1, and x-1 are all factors of this polynomial.

The factored form of this polynomial is :

$f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 1)$

We expand the last two factors using difference of two squares.

$f(x) = (x + 3)( {x}^{2} - 1)$

$f(x) = x ( {x}^{2} - 1) + 3( {x}^{2} - 1)$

$f(x) = {x}^{3} - x+ 3 {x}^{2} -3$

$f(x) = {x}^{3} + 3 {x}^{2} - x -3$

This is the standard form because it is now in decreasing powers of x.

Zoe has 5 pounds of potatos she has multiple recipes that require 3/4 pound of potatoes how many recipes will she be able to mak

Natali [406]

Amount of potatoes that Zoe has = 5 pounds
Quantity of potatoes that Zoe need for each recipe = 5/(3/4)
= 5 * (4/3)
= 20/3
= 6 2/3
From the above deduction, we can conclude that only 6 recipes can be made. The remaining amount of 2/3 will remain unused. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

When the sum of twice a number and 4 is tripled the result is 72?

mafiozo [28]

The unknown value can be called x.
3(2x +4) = 72
6x +12 = 72
72 - 12 = 6x
6x = 60
x = 6x / 6
x = 10

Hope This Helps You!
