Answer:

£265

Step-by-step explanation:

Total fraction of money spent= $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{7}{12}$

Actual money spent = $\frac{7}{12}$ * £636

= £371

Money he has left = £(636 - 371)

= £265

Answer:

7a²/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle PTS

½ × a × a

a²/2

Length of PS:

sqrt(a² + a²)

asqrt(2)

Length of MS:

¼asqrt(2)

Triangles MCS and TPS are similar

With sides in the ratio:

¼asqrt(2) : a

sqrt(2)/4 : 1

Area of triangle SMC:

A/(a²/2) = [(sqrt(2)/4)]²

2A/a² = 1/8

A = a²/16

Area of PTMC

= a²/2 - a²/16

= 7a²/16

Blue's Berry Farm charges Percy a total of

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The price for each kilogram of strawberries is $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Blues berry farm charges Percy a total of $24.75 for entrance and 2.5 kilograms of strawberries. The entrance fee is $6 and the price for each kilogram of strawberries is constant

Determine the price for each kilogram of strawberries

Let

x ----> the price for each kilogram of strawberries

we know that

The entrance fee plus the price of each kilogram of strawberries multiplied by the number of kilogram of strawberries must be equal to $24.75

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$2.5x+6=24.75$

solve for x

subtract 6 both sides

$2.5x=24.75-6\\2.5x=18.75$

divide by 2.5 both sides

$x=\$7.50$

therefore

The price for each kilogram of strawberries is $7.50

Triangle G F E is cut by line segment H J. Line segment H J goes from side G E to F E. The length of G F is 4 x minus 4, the len

alexira [117]

Answer:

HJ = 8 JE = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that H is the midpoint of GE and J is the midpoint of FE. According to the midpoint theorem the line segment connecting the midpoint of two sides is parallel to the three side and its length is half of the third side. since JH is connecting the midpoints.

HJ= 1/2 (GF)

x + 3 = 1/2 (4x - 4)

x + 3 = 2x - 2

x = 5

^ Thus meaning the value of x is 5.

Now you just fill into your equations:

HJ = x + 3 = (5) + 3 = 8

JE = x - 1 = (5) - 1 = 4

Therefore, HJ = 8; JE = 4.
