Answer 1

Answer:

✑ [tex] \underline{ \underline{ \sf{First ,\: Let's \: learn \: about \: the \: ratio}}} : [/tex]

Let us consider , there are 30 boys and 40 girls in a school. So, the ratio of number of boys to number of girls = [tex] \sf{ \frac{30}{40} = \frac{3}{4} = 3:4}[/tex] and read as 3 is to 4. We can say , the ratio compares two of more quantities of same unit. Until two quantities have same units , it is meaningless to compare by ratio. So, to find the ratio of two quantities , it is necessary to express them in same unit or of same kind. Since , they are in division form. So ,ratio is unit less quantity. Thus , the ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same kind in division which doesn't have any units. For example : [tex] \sf{ \frac{a}{b}} [/tex] is a ratio and is read as ' a is to b ' in which ' a : is antecedent and ' b ' is called consequent.

✎ [tex] \underline{ \underline{ \sf{Now \: let's \: solve : }}}[/tex]

☪ [tex] \underline{ \sf{Solution}} : [/tex]

£ 21 is to be divided between Amy and Ben in the ratio 5 : 2. So, let Amy get £ 5x and Ben get £ 2x.

Then , According to the question , [tex] \text{5x +2x = 21}[/tex]

Solve for x :

⇝ [tex] \sf{7x = 21}[/tex]

⇝ [tex] \sf{ \frac{7x}{7} = \frac{21}{7} }[/tex]

⇝ [tex] \sf{x = 3}[/tex]

The value of x is 3. Now , substitute the value of x in 5x :

Amy received £ 5x = 5 × 3 = £ 15 .

☥ [tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer \: is \bold{£ \: 15}}}}[/tex]

Hope I helped ! ツ

Have a wonderful day / night ♡

What is the area of the football field in the scale drawing? Assume that the field is shaped like a rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

i mean might as well get free points now that its 2 weeks old

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem: the diagonal of the football field is the hypotenuse. Let´s say the diagonal is C and the two other sides are A and B.

Width = A

Length = B

Diagonal = C

so: a2+b2=c

2502+1002=c2

2500+10000=c2

12500=c2

c=√12500

c=111.80 yards

The population of a city is 51,000 and is decreasing at a rate of 1.75% per year. Use an exponential function to find the expected population in 5 years. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

46,691

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial population, P = 51000

Decreasing rate = 1.75% = 0.0175

Time, t = 5 years

Using the relation :

A (t) = Po * ( 1 - r)^t

A(t) population after t years

Po = Initial population figure

r = rate of decrease

A(t) = 51000 * (1 - 0.0175)^5

A(t) = 51000 * (0.9825)^5

A(t) = 51000 * 0.91550937355400390625

A(t) = 46690.9780

Hence, population after 5 years will be : 46,691

The cost of a t-shirt was $30. Now the t-shirt costs $37.50. What is the percent of change? Do the work on your own paper and write your answer as a number.

Answers

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial cost of a t-shirt = $30

Final cost of a t-shirt = $37.50

We need to find percent of change. The percentage change in any value is given by :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{final value-initial value}}{\text{initial value}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{37.5-30}{30}\times 100\\\\=25\%[/tex]

Hence, the percentage error is 25%.

Answers

Answer:

For the first: [tex]x=-23[/tex] and [tex]x=17[/tex]

For the second: [tex]x=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x=17 for the first and x=5 for the second.

Step-by-step explanation:

First picture

Opposite angles of two intersecting lines are equal.

So the angle opposite the 100 degree angle on line c is also 100.

Since a, b, and c are all parallel, the angles made by the intersecting line r, are also all equal (these are corresponding angles).

So 5x + 15 = 100

5x = 85

x = 17

Second picture

Adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees.  So the angle opposite 52 is 180-52=128.

[tex]2^{2x-3}=128\\\\2x-3 = 7\\2x = 10\\x=5[/tex]
