sarah, natasha and richard share some sweets in the ratio 5:2:4. sarah gets 60 sweets. how many did richard get?

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

48 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

5:2:4

Sarah: 5

Natasha:2

Richard:4

To find out how many sweets Richard got, we need to use 60 as the lcm. Since, we have a definite constant of 60 we need to divide it by the presiding ratio.

60/5 = 12

That means for a ratio of 1, everyone in the group recieves 12.

Now, we plug it in for each of the members.

5x = Sarah

2x = Natasha

4x = Richard

Sarah = 60 sweets

Natasha = 24 sweets

Richard = 48 sweets

Answer:

There are 91 dimes in the jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

5n+10d= 1455

n+d = 200

5(200-d) + 10d=1455

1000-5d+10d=1455

1000+5d=1455

5d=455

d=91

What’s the equation in vertex form?

pshichka [43]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=(x+5)^2-64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The vertex form of equation}\ y=ax^2+bx+c:\\\\y=a(x-h)^2+k\\\\h=\dfrac{-b}{2a},\ k=f(h)\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\ y=x^2+10x-39\to x=1,\ b=10,\ c=-39.\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\h=\dfrac{-10}{2(1)}=\dfrac{-10}{2}=-5\\\\k=f(-5)=(-5)^2+10(-5)-39=25-50-39=-64\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=1(x-(-5))^2-64=(x+5)^2-64$
