Answers:

  • Total amount of money =  220 dollars
  • Amount Farah gets = 100 dollars

==========================================================

Explanation:

  • F = amount Farah gets
  • S = amount Shaiyara gets
  • Z = amount Zahin gets

The money is divided in the ratio 10:7:5

This means that

  • F = 10x
  • S = 7x
  • Z = 5x

for some positive real number x.

Since Shaiyara gets $20 more than Zahin, we can say,

S = Z+20

Let's plug in S = 7x and Z = 5x and solve for x

S = Z+20

7x = 5x+20

7x-5x = 20

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Therefore,

  • F = 10x = 10*10 = 100
  • S = 7x = 7*10 = 70
  • Z = 5x = 5*10 = 50

The ratio F:S:Z becomes 100:70:50 which reduces fully to 10:7:5 after dividing all three parts by the GCF 10.

The total sum of money shared is 100+70+50 = 220 dollars and Farah gets $100 of that total.

andriy [413]
The rule for the angle formed outside of circle by intersection show below is given by:
Angle formed outside=1/2(difference of intercepted arcs)
∠ACE=1/2(AE-BD)
∠ACE=53°
AE=233°
BD=x
Hence the formula for obtaining BD will be:
53=1/2(233-x)

Answer:

See step-by-step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

16. C, <AOB = 20

The total angle (<AOC) is equal to the sum of the angles inside of it (<AOB and < BOC).

<AOC= <AOB + <BOC

47=<AOB+27

<AOB=20

17. 24

Area of a square = s^{2}

36= s^{2}

s= 6

One side is 6

The perimeter of a square is 4(s)

4(6) = 24

Word of encouragement:

Good luck!

Which of the following ratio is equivalent to 3/16? a. 16:3
Ostrovityanka [42]
If one ratio is equivalent to another, that means that you multiply the top and the bottom on one ratio by a constant to get the larger ratio.  D does that here for us.  We have to multiply 3 by 5 to get to 15, so 16 times 5 better be 80 and it is.
