Answer:

Let the three numbers be x, y and z.

Sum of the numbers is 98.

x + y + z = 98………………(i)

The ratio of the first to the second is 2/3.

x/y = 2/3.

x = 2/3 × y.

x = 2y/3.

The ratio of the second to the third is 5/8.

y/z = 5/8.

z/y = 8/5.

z = 8/5 × y.

z = 8y/5.

Put the value of x = 2y/3 and z = 8y/5 in (i).

2y/3 + y + 8y/5 = 98

49y/15 = 98.

49y = 98 × 15.

49y = 1470.

y = 1470/49.

y = 30 .

Therefore, the second number is 30.

Answer: (c)

What is the perimeter, P, of a rectangle that has a length of x + 6 and a width of y - 1?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: P = 2x + 2y + 10

Step-by-step explanation: The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given as

P = 2L + 2W

By factorizing the right hand side of the equation we now have

P = 2(L + W)

However, the length of the rectangle is given as x + 6 and the width is given as y - 1

If P = 2(L + W), then

P = 2(x + 6 + {y - 1} )

P = 2(x + 6 + y -1)

P = 2(x + y + 5)

After expanding the bracket, we now have

P = 2x + 2y + 10
