A piece of wood is cut into 3 pieces in the ratio 5:4:3 if the length of the shortest piece is 2 how long is the wood

Mathematics

Bad White [126]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5:4:3 = x:y:2

4:3 = y:2                 Cross multiply

3y = 8                     Divide by 3

y = 8/3 = 2.66'

5/x = 3/2

3x = 10                   Divide by 3

x = 10/3

x = 3.33

Length of the wood = 2.66 + 3.33 + 2

Length of the wood = 8 feet

Karen drives straight south on Interstate 405 from the Santa Monica Freeway interchange going 10 miles per hour faster than Meli
natima [27]

Karen is moving at 81.2 miles per hour while Melinda is moving at 71.2 miles per hour.

<h3>Equation for speed</h3>

Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent Karen speed and b represent Melinda speed, hence:

a = b + 10

a - b = 10   (1)

Also:

a = d₁ / 1

d₁ = a

b = d₂/ 1 hour

d₂ = b

Since they are 108 miles apart, using Pythagoras:

108² = d₁² + d₂²

a² + b² = 11664

(b + 10)² + b² = 11664

b = 71.2 mph, a = 81.2 mph

Karen is moving at 81.2 miles per hour while Melinda is moving at 71.2 miles per hour.

Answerr for money!!!
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Line s and Line t are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we know that angles 1 and 2 are congruent, because they have the same angle measures. Now, looking at their positions, we can see that they are alternate exterior angles.

By the converse of the Alternate Exterior Angle, (I do not remember exactly how the theorem went) if two lines are cut by a transversal and have congruent alternate exterior angles, then the lines are parallel. Using this theorem, we can find that lines s and t are parallel, because they are cut by a transversal and their alternate exterior angles are congruent.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Eric and Linda are paid 52.25 for they're work. Eric worked 3.5 hours, and Linda worked 2 hours. They split the money according
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

<u>$33.25</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking Eric's hours as a ratio to the total hours :

  • 3.5 : 3.5 + 2
  • 3.5 : 5.5
  • 3.5 x 2 = : 5.5 x 2
  • 7 : 11

Multiply the ratio into the amount paid :

  • 52.25 x 7/11
  • 4.75 x 7
  • <u>$33.25</u>

<u></u>

Eric's share of the money is <u>$33.25</u>

I need help solving this pls
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Adding them together. x = 3/2, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding because we want to get rid of a variable. If we add, 2x + 6x = 8x, 1/2 * y + (-1/2 * y) = 0, and 7 + 5 = 12. Adding gets rid of the y variable.

By adding we get that 8x = 12 which gives us x = 12/8 = 3/2

Substituting this back into either equation will give us y = 8.
