Given:

Carol has 88cm of string and cuts it in the ratio 5 : 6.

To find:

How much longer is the longest piece compared to the shortest piece.

Solution:

Let the lengths of two pieces of string are 5x and 6x. Then,

5x+6x=88

11x=88

x=\dfrac{88}{11}

x=8

Now, the lengths of pieces are:

5x=5(8)

5x=40

And,

6x=6(8)

6x=48

The difference between the longer piece and shorter piece is:

48-40=8

Therefore, the longer piece is 8 m longer than the shorter piece.

Point Q is plotted on the coordinate grid. Point P is at (10, −20). Point R is vertically above point Q. It is at the same dista
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Point R is at (−20, 10), a distance of 30 units from point Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Q has coordinates (-20,-20).

P has coordinates (10,-20)

Since point R is vertically above point Q, it will have the same x-coordinate as Q.

Let R have coordinates (-20,y).

It was given that;

|RQ|=|PQ|

\Rightarrow |y--20|=|10--20|

\Rightarrow y+20=10+20

\Rightarrow y=10+20-20

\Rightarrow y=10.

The coordinates of R are (-20,10).

The dstance from Q is 30 units.
