Answer:Bill gets £171

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Money shared = £399

The ratio of the amount Ann gets to bill gets is 2:9 Chloe and Dave get 2.5 times the amount Ann gets can be written as  

Ann : Bill   :     Chloe :   Dave

      2 : 9    : 2.5 x Ann :   2.5 x Ann

Let the amount of money

Ann gets be x

so that Bill gets 4.5x

Chloe = 2.5x

Dave = 2.5x  

So that the expression to calculate each amount gooten will be  

x + 4.5x + 2.5x + 2.5x = 399

10.5x = 399

x = 399/10.5

x=38

Therefore, Ann gets  = £38

Bill gets =4.5 x=   4.5 x £38 = £171

Chloe gets=2.5x =2.5 x £38  = £95

Dave gets=2.5x =2.5 x £38  = £95

Barbara made a bad investment. Rather than earning interest, her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week! After just one w
pochemuha

Answer: She started with $160.

It will take 6 weeks before she has less than half of what she originally invested.

Step-by-step explanation:

If her money is decreasing in value by 11% each week, it means that the rate at which it is decreasing is exponential.

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

A = P(1 - r)^t

Where

A represents the value of the investment after t weeks.

t represents the number of weeks.

P represents the initial value of the investment.

r represents rate of depreciation.

From the information given,

A = $142.40

r = 11% = 11/100 = 0.11

t = 1

Therefore

142.40 = P(1 - 0.11)^1

142.40 = P(0.89)

P = 142.4/0.89

P = 160

For her to have half of what she invested originally, then

80 = 160(0.89)^t

80/160 = (0.89)^t

0.5 = (0.89)^t

Taking log of both sides to base 10

Log 0.5 = log0.89^t = tlog0.89

- 0.3010 = - 0.051t

t = - 0.3010/- 0.051

t = 5.9

Approximately 6 weeks

Tia states that the graph of g(x) = (x – 2)3 + 7 is a translation of 2 units to the left and 7 units up from f(x) = x3. Is Tia’s
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare g(x) = (x – 2)^3 + 7 to f(x) = (x - h)^3 + k.  Here, h denotes horizontal translation and k denotes vertical translation.  Translation to the left by 2 units would be (x + 2)^3 + 7.  Translation to the right by 2 units would be (x - 2)^3 + 7.  So, no, Tia's description of horiz. translation is incorrect.

However, her adding 7 does denote a positive vertical translation.

The description for a certain brand of house paint claims a coverage of 460 ft2/gal. (a) express this quantity in square meters
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Given 460 ft^2/gal

a) convert it into m^2/l

=> It means ft^2 -> m^2 and gal -> l

1 ft = 0.3048 m

1 ft^2 = 0.092903 m^2

1 gal = 3.78541 l

460ft^2= [tex]460\frac{ft^2}{gal} = \frac{42.7354m^2}{3.78541l} = 11.2895m^2/l m^2[/tex].

b.  11.2895\frac{m^{2} }{l} *1000\frac{l}{m^3} =11289.5 m^{-1}

c.Given=  460\frac{ft^2}{gal}

To find inverse, divide it by 1.

Inverse- \frac{1}{460} \frac{gal}{ft^2}
