Question:

A man left #5720 to be shared among his son and 3 daughters each daughter shared 3/4 of the Son shared, how much did the son received

Answer:

The son share was $ 1760

Solution:

Given that,

$ 5720 is to be shared among his son and 3 daughters

Since each of the three daughters got a share that was 3/4 of the son's share,

Let the son's share by 4x and each daughter's share by 3x

Therefore,

4x + 3 daughters ( 3x ) = 5720

4x + 9x = 5720

13x = 5720

Divide both sides by 13

x = 440

Therefore,

Son share = 4x = 4(440) = 1760

Thus the son share was $ 1760

Find xy if x + y=3, x^2 + y^2 = 5

Vesna [10]

Answer:

mark me

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=3

x=3-y

putting the value of x

in this

x²+y²=5

(3-y) ²+y²=5

9-6y+y²+y²=5

2y²-6y+9-5=0

2y²-6y+4=0

2y²-4y-2y+4=0

2y(y-2)-2(y-2)=0

(2y-2) (y-2) =0

2y-2=0 or y-2=0

y=1 or y=2

so x=2 or 1

so x×y=2×1 or 1×2=2

Suppose that you believe that contractor 1 is twice as likely to win as contractor 3 and that contractor 2 is three times as lik

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

probability that contractor 1,2 and 3 win is 33%,50% and 17% respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that there are no other contractors then:

probability that 1 , 2 or 3 win = 1

denoting as X= probability that contractor 3 wins , then assuming that only one wins , we have

probability that 1 , 2 or 3 win = 1

probability that contractor 1 wins + probability that contractor 2 wins + probability that contractor 3 wins = 1

2*P(X) + 3*P(X) + P(X) = 1

6*P(X) = 1

P(X) =1/6

then

-probability that contractor 1 wins = 2/6 (33%)

-probability that contractor 3 wins = 3/6 (50%)

-probability that contractor 3 wins = 1/6 (17%)

Tamika built a large play area in the shape of a rectangle. The length of one side was 8 meters, and the length of the other sid

ryzh [129]

The dimensions of the rectangle given are

length = 14 meters

Width = 8 meters

The perimeter of the rectangle is given by the sum of its sides

The rectangle has to opposite sides of 14 meters and two opposite sides of 8 meters

Hence adding up the 4 sides we get

$8+14+8+14 = 44$

Hence option B is the right answer

Using the law of sines, find the solutions for the missing inputs.

SashulF [63]

$\frac{a}{ \sin(a) } = \frac{b}{ \sin(b) }$
$\frac{12}{ \sin(38) } = \frac{b}{ \sin(85) }$
$\frac{12}{ \sin(38) } = \frac{a}{ \sin(57) }$
$180 - (85 + 38) = 57$
$\frac{12}{ \sin(38) } = \frac{b}{ \sin(85) }$
$\sin(85) \times \frac{12}{ \sin(38) } = b$
$\sin(57) \times \frac{12}{ \sin(38) } = a$
sorry for the order of steps
