The answer is x=5/8. The reason for this is when you divide it equal 0.625 then when you multiply that by 2 it equals 1.25. After you do that you add 5 which is 6.25. Now we divide 4/5 which is 0.8. Now, we multiply 6.25x0.8=5. 5-4=1. Therefore your answer is 5/8. Hope this helps :)
Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.
x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.
Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.
70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.
140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).
Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2= -x+6
4x=4, x=1
The answer would be 73 remainder 0 if rounded to one decimal place
The lateral area of the prism is given by:
LA=[area of the two triangles]+[area of the lateral rectangles]
hypotenuse of the triangle will be given by Pythagorean:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=6^2+4^2
c^2=52
c=sqrt52
c=7.211'
thus the lateral area will be:
L.A=2[1/2*4*6]+[6*8]+[8*7.211]
L.A=24+48+57.69
L.A=129.69 in^2
The total are will be given by:
T.A=L.A+base area
base area=length*width
=4*8
=32 in^2
thus;
T.A=32+129.69
T.A=161.69 in^2
