Answer:

✑ \underline{ \underline{ \sf{First ,\: Let's \: learn \: about \: the \: ratio}}} :

Let us consider , there are 30 boys and 40 girls in a school. So, the ratio of number of boys to number of girls = \sf{ \frac{30}{40} =  \frac{3}{4}   = 3:4} and read as 3 is to 4. We can say , the ratio compares two of more quantities of same unit. Until two quantities have same units , it is meaningless to compare by ratio. So, to find the ratio of two quantities , it is necessary to express them in same unit or of same kind. Since , they are in division form. So ,ratio is unit less quantity. Thus , the ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same kind in division which doesn't have any units. For example : \sf{ \frac{a}{b}} is a ratio and is read as ' a is to b ' in which ' a : is antecedent and ' b ' is called consequent.

✎ \underline{ \underline{ \sf{Now \: let's \: solve : }}}

☪ \underline{ \sf{Solution}} :

£ 21 is to be divided between Amy and Ben in the ratio 5 : 2. So, let Amy get £ 5x and Ben get £ 2x.

Then , According to the question , \text{5x +2x = 21}

Solve for x :

⇝ \sf{7x = 21}

⇝ \sf{ \frac{7x}{7}  =  \frac{21}{7} }

⇝ \sf{x = 3}

The value of x is 3. Now , substitute the value of x in 5x :

Amy received £ 5x = 5 × 3 = £ 15 .

☥ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer \: is \bold{£ \: 15}}}}

Hope I helped ! ツ

Have a wonderful day / night ♡

HelppppI need help this benchmark
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

A: -6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Take two points that we already know are on the line and find the slope

I used:

(4, -10) and (7, -30)

X1 (first x coordinate): 4

Y1 (first y coordinate): -10

X2 (second x coordinate): 7

Y2 (second y coordinate): 30

These appear to be exactly on the graph at a certain point along the line. We can't choose a coordinate pair that isn't on the line at an exact point.

Use (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

(-30-(-10))/(7-4) = (-30 + 10)/3 = -20/3 = approximately -6.67.

The closest answer to that is A.
