What are the coordinates of point G ,which divides DE un the ratio 2:3?

Answer:
(5, 7.8)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways to solve this problem, but all of them involve similar triangles and ratios.
See the attached image.
The horizontal distance between points D and E is 11 - 1 = 10. If a segment 10 units long is divided in the ratio 2:3 (as shown by the two smaller segments of length a and b), then
"Cross-multiply" to get
5a = 20
a = 4
To get the x-coordinate of point G, add 4 to 1, the x-coordinate of D.
The x-coordinate of G is 1 + 4 = 5.
The same idea can be used on the second coordinate of G.
The vertical distance from D to E is 15 - 3 = 12.
5a = 24
a = 24/5 = 4.8
The y=coordinate of G is 3 + 4.8 = 7.8

Answer:
500 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>hey there,</em>
<em />
< Since "p" stands for profits, change "p" to 0 (since the question says 0 profits).
Here is how your equation would look like:
Pretend like "n" is "x" since that is the variable we are trying to find here.
Solve for "n". Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
"n" actually ends up equaling 500, -200.
Obviously, negative can't be the answer because you can't have a negative amount of boxes. So 500 boxes would be your answer. 200 CAN'T be your answer <em>either </em>because it is a negative!! >
