Rachel, Neil, Caroline share an amount of money.
Rachel gets five time as much money as Neil gets.
Rachel get half as much money as Caroline gets.

what fraction of the amount of money does Rachel get?

Answers

Answer 1

The fraction of the money belonging to Rachel is [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex]

Let [tex]R[/tex] be the amount of money Rachel has

Let [tex]N[/tex] be the amount of money Neil has

Let [tex]C[/tex] be the amount of money Caroline has

Let [tex]M[/tex] be the total amount of money shared between the three people

Then, from the problem we have the following relationships

[tex]R+N+C=M\\\\5N=R \implies N=\frac{R}{5}\\\\\frac{C}{2}=R\implies C=2R[/tex]

Substituting the formulae for [tex]N[/tex] and [tex]C[/tex] into the sum [tex]R+N+C=M[/tex], we get

[tex]R+\frac{R}{5}+2R=M\\\\\frac{5R+R+10R}{5}=M\\\\\frac{16R}{5}=M\\R=\frac{5M}{16}[/tex]

Or, we can say that, [tex]R=\frac{5}{16}\text{ of }M[/tex]

Therefore, the fraction of money Rachel gets is [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex] of the total amount.

The . vertical distance is three times the horizontal, or y = 3x

The correct option is x² + y² = 100², where y = 3x

What are zeros of a polynomial?

The zeros of a polynomial p(x) are all the x-values that make the polynomial equal to zero. They are interesting to us for many reasons, one of which is that they tell us about the x-intercepts of the polynomial's graph.

Or we can say that the x- intercept of the graph of the polynomial are the zeros of that polynomial. Thus, the graph with x - intercept -3, 0, 2 represent the required function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive numbers exist such that the sum of three times the first number and two less than the second number is equal to 144. What are third numbers

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

two consecutive numbers means that one is larger by 1 than the other number.

so, we have to choices depending on whether the first number (multiplied by 3) is the larger one, or the second number.

to show what I mean, let's start with the second number being the larger one.

we are dealing therefore with x and (x+1).

3x + (x+1) - 2 = 144

4x - 1 = 144

4x = 145

x = 145/4

this is not an integer (but this is necessary to have 2 dedicated consecutive numbers).

so, it is actually not a valid solution.

therefore we are checking the other approach :

we are dealing therefore still with x and (x+1). but now we multiply the other number by 3.

3(x+1) + x - 2 = 144

4x + 1 = 144

4x = 143

x = 143/4

this is still not an integer (but this is necessary to have 2 dedicated consecutive numbers).

so, it is actually not a valid solution either.

and now I am beginning to think you left out some important information in the question.

could it be these 2 numbers are consecutive even or consecutive uneven numbers ?

because then the difference between the both of them is 2 and not 1.

we are dealing therefore with x and (x+2). first attempt to make the smaller number the "first" number :

3x + (x+2) - 2 = 144

4x = 144

x = 144/4 = 36

ah ! now that looks different !

36 and 38 are valid solutions under the changed assumptions. and we are dealing with consecutive even numbers.

let's check :

36×3 + 38 - 2 = 36×3 + 36 = 36×4 = 144

correct.

and fun fact, if we turn this around and make the larger number the "first" number, we are still dealing with x and (x+2), but now we multiply the larger number by 3 :

3(x+2) + x - 2 = 144

4x + 6 - 2 = 144

4x + 4 = 144

4x = 140

x = 140/4 = 35

35 and 37 are also valid solutions under the new assumptions and two consecutive uneven numbers ...

so, please check what your original question (and maybe the headlines and description around it) says. and then pick the right solution.

Help I am in 4 grade number 5

Answers

You're almost there. Write the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Since the mixed number is 3 4/5, we know that the point will be somewhere in between 3 and 4 on the number line. To figure out how many ticks/lines to draw in between each number, look at the fraction attached to the mixed number. Remember, a fraction is a part of a whole. We want to know the total number of parts that are in the whole- so we are looking at the denominator, 5. So there are 5 ticks/lines. The numerator represents the number of parts we need to count: 4. This places the point 4 ticks/lines after the "3." The number line should look like this:

Meshal earns $750 per week. He has 1/5 of his income withheld for federal taxes, 1/15 of his income withheld for state taxes, and 3/25 of his income withheld for medical coverage. How much income is left each week after those deductions?

Answers

Answer:

$460 is the Income Left.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 of $750 is $150 so after Federal Taxes he has $600

1/15 of $750 is $50 so after State Taxes he has $550

3/25 of $750 is $90 so after Medical Coverage he has $460

Therefore after the Income that’s left after those deductions would be $460.

How to find th unique prime factorization of 10 factorial

Mr. Green’s hobby was restoring old houses. He recently purchased an old rundown house that needed a lot of repair, especially with the plumbing. The kitchen faucet dripped all day and night. It intrigued Mr. Green how much water dripped from this faucet in one day, but he surely didn’t want to sit and watch the faucet drip all day. So he figured that if he could discover how much water dripped within a certain time span, he could calculate the dripping rate for any time span. In his first observation he noted that 6 ounces of water dripped in 10 minutes.

A) Using Mr. Green’s observation, can you help him figure out how much water would have dripped in only 5 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

3 ounces of water

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 ounces of water dripped in 10 minutes, then that means that in HALF the time (5 minutes), HALF the amount of water would drip, which is 3 ounces.
