Answer: Mr. Smith makes 14,400, Mr. Kelly makes 9,600

Step-by-step explanation: First add the ratio together. 3+2=5.

Then divide 24,000 into five parts, 24,000/5 = 4,800.

After getting 4,800, multiply 4,800 by 3 to get Mr. Smith's portion of the money received. 4,800 x 3 = 14,000.

And you can do the same for Mr. Kelly but use 2 instead of a 3.

4,800 x 2 = 9,600

To check your work you can add the two answers together

9,600 + 14,400 = 24,000.

A penny weighs about 0.1 oz. how much is a pound of pennies worth
Lelu [443]
<span>1.       </span><span>A penny weighs about 0.1 oz.
Now, we need to find the weights of pennies in pounds
=> always remember that in every 1 oz, there is 0.0625 pounds.
Since 0.1 is 1/10 of 1 oz, we need to find the value of it in pounds.
=>  0.0625 pounds / 10
=> 0.0625 pounds.
Therefore, in 0.1 oz of  penny is equivalent to 0.00625 pounds.
In problem like this, before determining the answer, you need to make sure that both unit of measurements are the same. If not, then try to convert.</span>

A sequence is defined by the formula f(n+1)=f(n)-3. If f(4)=22, what is f(1)?
Vlad [161]
<h3>Answer: Choice C) 31</h3>

==============================================

Explanation:

The recursive rule

f(n+1)=f(n)-3

can be rearranged to

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

after adding 3 to both sides

----------------

Now let's say we plug in n = 3

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(3) = f(3+1)+3

f(3) = f(4)+3

f(3) = 22+3

f(3) = 25

Repeat for n = 2

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(2) = f(2+1)+3

f(2) = f(3)+3

f(2) = 25+3

f(2) = 28

Each time we keep adding 3 to get the previous term (since the original recursive rule says to subtract 3 to get the next term; we just go backwards of what the instructions say).

Lastly, we can find that f(1) = f(2)+3 = 28+3 = 31 making the answer to be choice C.

Simplify (4/5)^-2 . Show your work!
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

\frac{25}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply exponent rule: x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}

(\frac{4}{5}) ^{-2}=\frac{1}{\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2}=\frac{1}{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{25}{16}
