Double the 1/3 to 2/6 so they have the same denominator.
So, 6 5/6 - 4 2/6 = 2 3/6 feet left.

The ratio of money in Obi's wallet to Rudy's wallet one day was 5:2. Obi spent ?20 that day. Obi now had ?8 less than Rudy. How

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Altogether, they had ?28

Step-by-step explanation:

Had Obi spent only ?12, they would have been even. Thus ?12 is the same as 5-2 = 3 "ratio units". So, each "ratio unit" is worth ?12/3 = ?4.

Then Obi started the day with 5·4 = 20, and Obi started the day with 2·4 = 8. Obi ended with 0, which is 8 less than Rudy.

Altogether, they started with 20 + 8 = 28 of whatever a ? is.

Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water. If the market sells a bottle of water for $2, find the original amount

lakkis [162]

Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit.

Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water.

Let us say original price was $x.

Now price after markup is $2.

So we can make an equation like:

original price + markup price = price after markup

x + 60% of x =2

$x + 0.6x =2$

$1.6x =2$

dividing both sides by 1.6

x= 1.25

So original price was 1.25 dollars.

Solve the triangle. A = 46° a = 33 b = 26

frozen [14]

Using sin rule:
a/sin A =b/sin B=c/sin c
SIN A=sin 46=0.72
THEN:sin B =(0.72*26)/33=0.57
then B= 34°
AS the sum of triangle angles=180
then C=180-(46+34)=100°
then c =(a*sin C)/sin A
sin C=sin 100=0.98
=(33*0.98)*0.72=45
