Given parameters:

Ratio of their money = 3 : 4 : 2

Total amount received by Stephen and Bridget = 50

Unknown :

How much did Paul get = ?

Solution:

The amount Paul got is a fraction of the total.

We need to find the total amount first;

Amount Stephen and Bridget got = $\frac{ratio of stephen and bridget}{total ratio} x total amount$

let the total amount = y;

50 = $\frac{3+2}{9}$ x y

$\frac{5y}{9}$ = 50

5y = 450

y = 90

Now, the amount Paul got;

= $\frac{4}{9} x 90$

= 40

The amount Paul got is £40

Sasha is bisecting a segment. First, she places the compass on one endpoint, opens it to a width larger than half of the segment

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

A) Swing arcs on both sides to intersect the first two arcs created.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisecting a segment is cutting a line into two equal parts with a line bisector.

The steps involved are;

Placing a compass on one endpoint
Opening the compass to a width larger than half of the segment
Swinging an arc on either side of the segment
While maintaining the same width, place the compass on the other endpoint
Swing arcs on both sides of the segment to intersect the first two arcs created
Using a ruler placed at the points of intersection of the arcs, draw the line bisector.

Sasha was now at step four.

Lucy has to run two errands. She starts from home and travels 3 miles south to the post office. From the post office, she travel

alexira [117]

Answer:

the correct choice is A. At the gas station

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy starts at home and travels 3 miles south to the post office. From the post office, she travels 4 miles east to the gas station. As it is known south and east directions form right angle. Since the entire trip forms a triangle, this triangle is right with right angle at the post office.

Call the vertices of this triangle P - post office, G - gas station, H - home. Then HP and PG are legs of this triangle and GH is hypotenuse.

From the given data:

HP=3;

PG=4;

GH=5;

∠P=90°.

The smallest angle is opposite to the smallest side. The smallest side is leg HP, so the smallest angle is G that is the angle at gas station.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a. The average number of hashtags used in a social media post from a marketing agency is different than 7 hashtags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A social media platform states that a social media post from a marketing agency has 7 hashtags, on average.

This means that at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is 7, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 7$

A digital marketing specialist studying social media advertising believes the average number of hashtags used in a post from a marketing agency is different than the number stated by the social media platform.

Keyword is different, so at the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 7, that is:

$H_1: \mu \neq 7$

Thus, the correct answer is given by option a.
