Divide 42 in a ratio of 1:2:3?

Mathematics

Ratio 1:2:3 means we have x, 2x and 3x as the three parts

x+2x+3x = 42
6x = 42
6x/6 = 42/6
x = 7

Since x = 7, this means 2x = 2*7 = 14 and 3x = 3*7 = 21

Dividing 42 into the ratio of 1:2:3 means we have 7:14:21 as the answer

If we divide all three parts of 7:14:21 by the GCF 7, we reduce it down to 1:2:3

As a check, 
7+14+21 = 21+21 = 42
so it works out

To save money for a video game you put $1 in an envelope each day for 5 days you double the number of dollars in the envelopes f
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:you would have saved $31 after 5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

You double the number of dollars in the envelopes from the day before. This means the amount in a day is double the amount in the previous day. Therefore, amount of money in the envelope is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = a(r^n - 1)/r - 1

Where

a represents the first term.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

a = 1

r = 2

n = 5 days

S5 = 1(2^5 - 1)/2 - 1

S5 = 32 - 1 = 31

Find the value of x. The diagram is not drawn to scale.
lidiya [134]
116+y=180(sum of angles in a straight line)
y=180-116
y=64

x+y+125+72=540(sum of angles in a quadrant)
x+64+125+72=540
x+125+136=540
x+261=540
x=540-261
x=79
