Adam and Tom share a sum of money in the ratio 18:17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Digiron [165]2 years ago
5 0

x = total amount split between Adam and Tom.

since we know the total amount split between both in a 18 : 17 ratio is "x", let's divide "x" by (18 + 17) and distribute accordingly to get the amount of each.

\stackrel{Adam~received}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that Adam got "5" more}}{ \stackrel{Adam}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}~~ = ~~\stackrel{Tom}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}~~ + ~~5} }\qquad \implies \qquad \cfrac{18x}{35}~~ + ~~\cfrac{17x}{35}+5

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{35}}{35\left( \cfrac{18x}{35} \right)~~ = ~~35\left( \cfrac{17x}{35}+5 \right)}\implies 18x~~ = ~~17x+175\implies \boxed{x =175} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\implies \cfrac{17(175)}{35}\implies \blacktriangleright 85 \blacktriangleleft

Lilit [14]
She could estimate that there would be about 148 million female drivers.

From her data, she found there were 118 females drivers out of the total 200 drivers that she counted.

That is 118 out of 200 or 0.59 or 59%.

Now, just take 59% of 250.

0.59 x 250 = 147.5 which rounds to 148.

Which statement BEST describes the growth of bacteria modeled by the function f(x)=1.8x
lara [203]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1.8x is a linear function and does not model the growth of bacteria.  Perhaps you meant f(x) = 1.8^x, which is an exponential function whose initial value is 1.  Please ensure that you have copied down this problem exactly as it was presented.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The answer is A. k = 4.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find proportionality, solve for 8.5 divided by 2 and 17 divided by 4.

Both of those answers are 4.25, so that would be the final answer.
