Answer: £ 400,560,640

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Delia, Edwin, and Freya share £1600 in the ratio 5:7:8

Suppose, their shares are 5x,7x, and 8x such that the ratio remains the same.

The sum of their shares must be £1600

\Rightarrow 5x+7x+8x=1600\\\Rightarrow 20x=1600\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1600}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow x=80

Their share is

Delia:5\times 80=400

Edwin:7\times 80=560

Freya:8\times 80=640

A rectangle has a length 10 more than its width. If the width is increased by 8 and the length by 4, the resulting rectangle has
Aleks [24]

The Solution to the problem of the rectangle is given below

For Part A:

  • equation model: (14 + w) * (w +8) = 132
  • Length = 15

For Part B

  • Perimeter = 46

Meaning of Perimeter

The perimeter of any shape can be defined as the total sum of the sides of the shape.

<h3>Analysis</h3>

For Part A

equation model= (14 + w) * (w +8) = 135

14w + 112 + 8w + w^{2} = 135

w^{2} + 22w - 23 = 0

solving the quadratic equation

w = -23 or 1

Because we are dealing with a physical quantity we will make use of the value 1

lenght of original rectangle = 10 + 1 = 11

Part B

Perimeter= 2(length) * 2 (breadth) = 2(11 + 4) * 2 (1 + 8)

Perimeter = 48

In conclusion, The Solution to the problem of the rectangle is given above.
