Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.
x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.
Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.
70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.
140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).
Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:
It is 26635.2384 because you multiply the pi times the radius18.8 to the 2nd power times the height that is 24
<h2>A = 0.625</h2>
There are 8 points between 1 and 0 so divide 1 by 8.
1 / 8 = 0.125
Each point has a value of 0.125.
You can minus 0.125 from 1 until you reach A.
Or you can multiple 0.125 by the number of points from 0 to A, including A.
1 - 0.125 - 0.125 - 0.125 = 0.625
0.125 * 5 = 0.625
<h2>A = 0.625</h2>
A. The hexagon as the series is adding a side each time. So you started with 3, 4, 5...
29.75/8.5=x/4.5
using the "butterfly method"
8.5x=133.875
/8.5 /8.5
x=15.75
You have to make a proportion
