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.

(HELP ASAP) Kite EFGH is inscribed in a rectangle where F and H are midpoints of parallel sides.
Reika [66]
Let's say that FH and EG intersection is O,
So we have the following:
OF = 2
OH = 5

Just because F and H are midpoints it means that EO = OG = x
And as it's given the area S=35

On the other hand
S = OF*OG/2 + OG*OH/2 + OH*OE/2 + OE*OF/2 = 2*x/2 + x*5/2 + 5*x/2 + x*2/2 = 2*x + 5*x = 7*x = 35

7x = 35 so x = 35/7 = 5

Answer: 5 units
