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.

Rob laid three sticks end to end. The lengths of the sticks were 45 millimeters, 32 centimeters, and 4 decimeters. How long, in
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

<u>0.765 meters</u> long were the sticks when laid end to end.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rob laid three sticks end to end. The lengths of the sticks were 45 millimeters, 32 centimeters, and 4 decimeters.

Now, to find the length in meters of the sticks when laid end to end.

The lengths of the sticks are:

1st stick - 45 millimeters.

2nd stick - 32 centimeters.

3rd stick - 4 decimeters.

So, we convert the units of sticks into meters by using conversion factor:

1st stick:

1 millimeter = 0.001 meter.

45 millimeters = 0.001 × 45

45 millimeters = 0.045 meter.

2nd stick:

1 centimeter = 0.01 meter.

32 centimeters = 0.01 × 32

32 centimeters = 0.32 meter.

3rd stick:

1 decimeter = 0.1 meter.

4 decimeters = 0.1 × 4

4 decimeters = 0.4 meter.

Now, adding all the three sticks length to get the the length in meters of the sticks when laid end to end:

0.045+0.32+0.4\\\\=0.765\ meters.

Therefore, 0.765 meters long were the sticks when laid end to end.
