A man left 1⁄2 of his property to his wife 1/3 of the remainder to his eldest

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer: p800,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2         to wife

1/3         to eldest son, and

<u>Rest(x)</u>   to 5 youngest children

(1/2) + (1/3) + x = 1  [The sum of the shares will equal 1 estate]

(3/6) + (2/6) + x = 1

(5/6) + x = 1

x = (1/6); to be divided among the 5 youngest children

We find that each young child receives p60,000.  That group of five received 5*(60,000) = p300,000, which represents (1/6) of the total estate (Estate).

We can write:    (1/6)*(Estate) = p300,000

Estate = p1,800,000

The wife hauled in 1/2 of this, so she received p800,000.

From a survey of 60 students attending a university, it was found that 9 were living off campus, 36 were undergraduates, and 3 w
lana66690 [7]
I think the question has to do with the number of students who are attending the university but is neither an undergraduate nor living off-campus. To help us solve this problem, we use the Venn diagram as shown in the picture. The intersection of the 2 circles would be 3 students. The students in the 'students living off-campus' circle would be 9 - 2 = 6, while the undergraduate students would be 36-3 = 33. The total number of students inside all the circles and outside the circles should sum up to 60 students.

6 + 3 + 33 + x = 60
x = 60 - 6 - 3 - 3
x = 18 students

Therefore, there are 18 students who are neither an undergraduate nor living off-campus

Solve the system of linear equations using linear combination.
brilliants [131]
3a + 6b = 45
2a - 2b = -12....multiply by 3
----------------
3a + 6b = 45
6a - 6b = - 36 ...(result of multiplying by 3)
---------------add
9a = 9
a = 1

3a + 6b = 45
3(1) + 6b = 45
3 + 6b = 45
6b = 45 - 3
6b = 42
b = 7

solution is : (1,7)
