Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this is 3x + 5x + 4x = 600 where x is the same amount of money multiplied by the scalar value to ensure the money is divided in that ratio exactly. That gives us 12x = 600.

x = 50.

The largest value is 5(50) = 250 and

the smallest value is 3(50) = 150.

The difference between these is $100.

Omari and his two cousins received the same amount of money to go to the movies. Each boy spent $15. Afterward, the boys had $30

Answer:

Each boy recieved $25.25 each

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add up all the money the 3 boys spent.

15+15+15=45

Then you add the sum of the equation to the amount all the boys had afterward.

45+30.75=75.75

Finally, you divide that product to 3 boys.

75.75/3=25.25

Therfore the answer is $25.25 each.

$\frac{16y^{3}}{20y^{4}} = \frac{4}{5y}$
$\frac{6xy}{16y} = \frac{3x}{8}$
$\frac{abc}{10abc} = \frac{1}{10}$
$\frac{mn^{2}}{pm^{5}n} = \frac{n}{pm^{4}}$
$\frac{12h^{3}k}{16h^{2}k^{2}} = \frac{3h}{4k}$
$\frac{8x}{10y} = \frac{4x}{5y}$
$\frac{24n^{2}}{28n} = \frac{6n}{7}$
$\frac{30hxy}{54kxy} = \frac{5h}{9k}$
$\frac{5jh}{15jh^{3}} = \frac{1}{3h^{2}}$
$\frac{20s^{2}t^{3}}{16st^{5}} = \frac{5s}{4t^{2}}$

Answer:

QR = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

PR = PQ + QR

PR = x + 19

PQ = 9

So now put what you know in the equation above.

PR = 9 + 2x + 19

PR also equals x + 19

x + 19 = 9 + 2x + 19

x + 19 = 2x + 28

19 - 28 + x = 2x

-9 + x = 2x

-9 = 2x - x

-9 = x

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

QR = 2x + 19

QR = 2*-9 + 19

QR = -18 + 19

QR = 1

This really is kind of a nasty question. You don't expect to get a minus number of x.
