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

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Get rid of fractions:

Multiply the whole equation, i.e. all terms both sides of the equals sign, by the denominator or the lowest common multiple of all denominators if there are multiple fractions in the equation;

In this case, only one term is a fraction and therefore has a denominator (i.e. 7), so it is this number we multiply the equation by to get:

7(y) = 7(-³/₇.x) + 7(3)

7y = -3x + 21

3x + 7y = 21

With a little care, you can find the median and the quartiles from the histogram. what are these numbers? you can also find the
coldgirl [10]

Complete Question

The histogram from this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The first quartile is  1st Q = 19^{th} girl (subject ) = 1 \serving\ of\ fruit\ per\ day

The median is   Median  = 38 ^{th} \ girl (subject) =  2 \serving\ of\ fruit\ per\ day

The third quartile  is 3rd Q =  56^{th} \  girl (subject) = 4 \serving\ of\ fruit\ per\ day  

The  mean is  \= x = 2.62

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The total  number of girls is n =  74

Generally the median is mathematically represented as

       Median  =  \frac{\frac{n}{2}  +[ \frac{n}{2} + 1]  }{2}

So

          Median  =  \frac{\frac{74}{2}  +[ \frac{74}{2} + 1]  }{2}

=>         Median  =  \frac{37  +38 }{2}

=>         Median  =37.5 \  girl    

From the histogram 37.5 \approx 38^{th} \ girl fall under 2 fruits per day

Generally the first quartile is mathematically represented as

      1st \ Q =  \frac{\frac{n}{4} + [\frac{n}{4} + 1]  }{2}

=>    1st \ Q =  \frac{\frac{74}{4} + [\frac{74}{4} + 1]  }{2}

=>     1st \ Q = 19 \  girl

From the histogram 19^{th}girl fall under 1 fruit per day

 Generally the third quartile is mathematically represented as

     3rd\  Q =  \frac{\frac{n}{2}  + n }{2}

=>    3rd\  Q =  \frac{\frac{74}{2}  + 74 }{2}

=>    3rd\  Q =  55.5

From the histogram 55.5 \approx 56^{th} \ girl fall under 4 fruits per day

Generally from the histogram table the frequency  [number of subjects (girls) ]  and the servings of fruit per day can be represented as

                                                                                                               Total

x(servings per day )        0     1     2     3     4     5    6     7      8    

f (number of subjects )   15    11   15     11    8     5    3     3      3    \sum f  =  74

xf                                       0    11    30   33   32  25   18   21     24    \sum xf =  194

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

      \= x = \frac{1}{ \sum f}  * [\sum xf]

=>     \= x = \frac{1}{ 74}  *194

=>      \= x = 2.62

Given the following system of equations: 2x + 6y = 12 4x + 3y = 15 Which action creates an equivalent system that will eliminate
ozzi

Answer:

Multiply the second equation by −2 to get −8x − 6y = −30.

Step-by-step explanation:

{2x + 6y = 12

{4x + 3y = 15

{2x + 6y = 12

{−8x − 6y = −30 >> New Equation

* Doing this will give you <em>additive</em><em> </em><em>inverses</em><em> </em>of −6y and 6y, which result in 0, so they are both ELIMINATED.

** [3, 1] is your solution.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

What is the value of 1 over 2 x+3.4y when x=3 and y = 4?​
gavmur [86]

Answer:

The value of the given expression is 27.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression of two variable x and y.

We need to find the value of expression at x = 3 and y = 4

So first put x = 3 and y = 4 into expression and simplify

1/2 x 3 (3) + 3.4 x 4

➡️ 1/2 x 27 + 13.6

➡️ 27/2 + 13.6

➡️ 13.5 + 13.6

Now, add both of the numbers together. ( as an addition problem)

Therefore, when you ad the 2 together, you get the total of 27.1
