Hello there! My name is Neko and I'll be helping you today! :o

Question:

Christian and Yong had some stickers in the ratio 2:3.

After Yong gave Christian 15 stickers, the ratio became 5: 7. What was the total number of stickers they had?

Answer:

900

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Christian and Yong had some stickers in the ratio 2:3.

Let Christian has 2x stickers and Yong has 3x stickers.

If Yong gave Christian 15 stickers, then Yong has 3x -15 stickers and Christian has 2x + 15.

The ratio becomes 5:7. So,

\frac{2x+15}{3x-15} =\frac{5}{7}

⇒14x+105=15x-75

⇒-x=-180

⇒x=180

The total number of stickers they had is equal to 5x = 5(180) = 900.

Thus, the answer is 900.

Find the missing lengths:<br> LO=5 and OK=4, find OH and KH.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The length of KH is 6 units and OH is 6.3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the figure with lengths LO=5 and OK=4. we have to find the length of  OH and KH.

In ΔLOH

By Pythagoras theorem

LH^2=LO^2+OH^2\\\\LH^2=5^2+OH^2 → (1)

In ΔKOH,

KH^2=OH^2+OK^2\\\\KH^2=OH^2+4^2  → (2)

In ΔKHL,

KL^2=LH^2+KH^2

Using eq (1) and (2), we get

KL^2=5^2+OH^2+OH^2+4^2

9^2=25+2OH^2+16

⇒ 2OH^2=81-25-16=40

⇒ OH=\sqrt{20}=6.324\sim6.3units.

Put the above value in eq 2, we get

KH^2=20+4^2=36

⇒ KH=6 units.
