Adam and his dad share the cost of the meal in the ratio of 2:3. Adam’s dad pays £52.20. What is the total cost of the meal

1 answer:

6 0

We have to calculate the total cost of the meal. We know that Adam ( A ) and his dad ( D ) share the cost of the meal in the ratio 2 : 3 and that Adam`s dad pays 52.20 Pounds. So A : D = 2 : 3; A : 52.20 = 2 : 3. Using the cross products, A * 3 = 2 * 52.20; A * 3 = 104.40; A = 104.40 : 3; A = 34.80 Pounds. Finally, A + D = 34.80 + 52.20 = 87.00. Answer: The total cost of the meal is 87 Pounds<span>. </span>

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

45 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is given by ...

A = (1/2)bh

where b is the base, 2 cm + 3 cm = 5 cm, and h is the height, 6 cm.

A = (1/2)(5 cm)(6 cm) = 15 cm^2

The area of the rectangle is given by ...

A = bh

where b is the base, 12 cm, and h is the height, 2.5 cm.

A = (12 cm)(2.5 cm) = 30 cm^2

The area of the whole figure is the area of the triangle added to the area of the rectangle:

drawing area = 15 cm^2 + 30 cm^2 = 45 cm^2

the equation y equals 1/5x represents a proportional relationship. explain how you can tell the relationship is proportional fro

Allisa [31]

If the equation is in y = k*x form, then we have a direct proportional relationship between x and y. In this case, y = (1/5)*x is in the form y = k*x where k = 1/5. So this equation is proportional. The constant of proportionality is k = 1/5

In terms of a graph, you can tell if it has the following properties:
1) The graph goes through the origin (0,0) which is where the x and y axis cross
2) The graph is a straight line

You should find that graphing y = (1/5)x will satisfy both properties above, so that will visually confirm you have the right answer. The graph is shown in the attached image. The red line represents the graph of the equation. The red line goes through (0,0) and (5,1), which are point A and point B respectively.
