Answer:

Mr. Lee takes home 9 kg of chocolate.

Mrs. Scarlet takes home 6kg of chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Lee has a family of 6 people, and Mrs. Scarlett has a family of 4 people.

Together, the total number of people is 6 + 4 = 10

If we divide evenly the chocolate between all 10, then each one gets the same amount.

Then we need to do the quotient:

15kg/10 = 1.5kg

This means that each person gets 1.5kg of chocolate.

And Mr. Lee has 6 on his family, then the amount of chocolate that Mr. Lee takes home is 6 times 1.5 kg

6*1.5kg = 9kg

Mr. Lee takes home 9 kg of chocolate.

Mrs. Scarlett has a family of 4 people, then she takes home 4 times 1.5kg of chocolate, this is:

4*1.5kg = 6kg

Mrs. Scarlet takes home 6kg of chocolate.

the ratio between length and breadth of a rectangle is 7 : 5 find its length and breadth if it its perimeter is 60 m

Furkat [3]

Answer:

length= 17.5 m , breadth = 12.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of length : breadth = 7 : 5 = 7x : 5x ( x is a multiplier )

Then

2l + 2b = perimeter ( l is length, b is breadth )

2(7x) + 2(5x) = 60

14x + 10x = 60

24x = 60 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = 2.5

Then

length = 7x = 7 × 2.5 = 17.5 m

breadth = 5x = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5 m

Simplify: −z^3+5k^6−(−z^3+10k^6)

Georgia [21]

-z³ + 5k^6 + z³ -10k^6

(-z³ cancels out with z³)

5k^6 -10k^6

(then subtract)

Answer is -5k^6

How do I solve this type of problem? I'm trying to find both missing values. Please explain how to solve this as thoroughly as y

goldenfox [79]

Hi there!

In order to solve, we'll need to use a proportion: 20/a = 21/20. Then, we'll cross-multiply and solve to find a: 21a = 400 | a = 19.05. Next, to find b, we can just use pythagorean theorem: 20^2 + (400/21)^2 = b^2 | b = 27.62.
We are using geometric mean to solve for a, then using pythagorean theorem to solve for b. If you need more help with geometric mean, or would like a complete explanation, please let me know! I'd be happy to provide you with that information.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

How do you divide a whole number by a decimal? Example 9.00 divided by 6.75

sammy [17]

Answer to the example is 1.3 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

The number we divide by is called the divisor. To divide decimal numbers: Multiply the divisor by as many 10's as necessary until we get a whole number. Remember to multiply the dividend by the same number of 10's.

Please help ASAP!! Will mark brainliest!!

Sergio [31]

The answer is 10 because all the angles are equal making it a equilateral triangle.

Therefore, the sides are all equal to one another, 3x - 8 = 5x - 20.

You just solve for x and get 6. You then plug in 6 for x and evauluate the equation, getting 10.
