Rajesh gave ½ of his provident fund to his wife, ¼ to his son and the remainder was to be divided equally between his two brothers so that each brother got Rs 10000. What was the amount of provident fund ?​

Answers

Answer 1
1/2 was for his wife so 1/2 was left
from the 1/2, 1/4 went to the son so 1/4 was left
1/4 was divided to two brothers which are 1/8 for each brother --> 1/8 = 10000
therefore 10000 *8 = 80000 = 100% of the fund
Answer 2
Answer:  Rs 80000

This is the number 80 thousand

==========================================================

Explanation:

1/2, aka 2/4, of the original fund was given to his wife and 1/4 was given to his son. That totals 3/4 since 2/4+1/4 = (2+1)/4 = 3/4.

In short, 3/4 of the fund is distributed between the wife and son. That leaves 1/4 of the fund for the two brothers to share equally.

Imagine a cake cut into quarters. Then cut each slice in half to get eighths, i.e. there are 8 equal slices. This means each brother gets 1/8 of the fund.

Since each brother got Rs 10000, this must mean the original fund is worth 8*10000 = 80000

Taking 1/8 of Rs 80000 will get us Rs 10000 for each brother.

----------------------------------

Checking the answer:

original fund amount = 80000

1/2 of 80000 = 40000 is the amount the wife gets

1/4 of 80000 = 20000 is the amount the son gets

That totals 40000+20000 = 60000 leaving 80000-60000 = 20000 leftover for the two brothers to share. Cut that 20 thousand figure in half to arrive at Rs 10000 for each brother. These steps help confirm the answer.

----------------------------------

Another method using algebra:

x = original amount of the fund

W = x/2 = 2x/4 = half of the fund = amount wife gets

S = x/4 = quarter of the fund = amount the son gets

W+S = (2x/4) + (x/4) = (2x+x)/4 = 3x/4

W+S represents the sum of the wife's and son's amounts.

We'll subtract this from the original amount x to find out what's left

x - (W+S) = x - (3x/4) = (4x/4) - (3x/4) = (4x-3x)/4 = x/4

This shows that 1/4 of the fund is left over after distributing to the wife and son.

The amount x/4 is then cut in half to get x/8 to represent the amount each brother gets. We're told that amount is Rs 10000

So,

x/8 = 10000

x = 8*10000

x = 80000

The original fund is worth Rs 80000

14th Street and 12th Avenue
15th Street and 14th Avenue

Answers

Answer: (15th street, 14th Avenue)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Ping's residence = (3rd street, 6th Avenue)

Ari's residence = (21st street, 18th Avenue)

Gym location = 2/3 the distance of Ping's residence to Ari's residence

So, distance between Ping's home to Ari's home

Distance = (21st street, 18th Avenue) - (3rd street, 6th Avenue)

Distance = (21 - 3) street, (18 - 6) avenue

Distance between ping and Ari = (18th , 12th )

Gym distance = 2/3 of distance between ping and Ari

Gym distance = 2/3 × (18), 2/3 ×(12)

Gym distance = (12, 8)

Gym location = Ping's location + gym distance

Gym location = (3rd street, 6th Avenue) + (12th street, 8th Avenue)

Gym location = (15th street, 14th Avenue)

what is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,6) and has a slope of -5/3?

Answers

Answer: The equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,6) and has a slope of -5/3 is y = -5/3x + -3.96.

Explanation:

y = 6, x = -6

By putting above values in equation (i)

6 = approximately -1.66 (-6) + b

6 = approximately 9.96 + b

approximately -3.96 = b

b = approximately -3.96

84
80
90
74

Answers

Answer:

74

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of any set of numbers is simply the sum of the numbers divided by however many numbers you have. Because of this you can write the following equation

Mean = (sum of numbers)/(number of numbers)

Let's say that the missing test score is called x:

Mean = 80 = (80 + 85 + 73 + 78 + 90 + x)/6

80(6) = 80 + 85 + 73 + 78 + 90 + x

480 = 80 + 85 + 73 + 78 + 90 + x

x = 480 - 80 - 85 - 73 - 78 - 90

x = 74

Trevor is fishing from a small boat. His fishing hook is 8 meters below him, and a fish is swimming at the same depth as the hook, 5 meters away. How far away is Trevor from the fish? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

A ray from Trevor to the fish is the hypotenuse side of a right triangle  with

vertices at Trevor's position, the hook and the fish.

The distance from Trevor to the fish is approximately 9.4 meters.

Reasons:

The distance of the hook below Trevor, y = 8 meters

The horizontal distance of the fish from the hook, x = 5 meters

Required:

The distance of the fish from Trevor

Solution:

A line drawn from Trevor's position to the fish, h, then to the hook, x, and

then to Trevor, y, forms a right triangle with the distance from Trevor to the

fish being the hypotenuse side, h.

Therefore, by Pythagorean theorem, we have;

h² = y² + x²

Which gives;

h² = 8² + 5²

h = √(8² + 5²) = √(89 ≈ 9.4

The distance from Trevor to the fish given to the nearest tenth , d ≈ 9.4 meters

state if the triangles in each pair are similar, if so state how you know they are similar.

Answers

Answer:

Looking at both triangles, angle P in triangle PQR = 38 degrees. Angle N in triangle LMN = 38 degrees. Both angles are equal.

Side PQ in triangle PQR = 16

Side MN in triangle LMN = 8

Therefore,

PQ/MN = 16/8 = 2

Side PR in triangle PQR = 14

Side LN in triangle LMN = 7

Therefore,

PR/LN = 14/7 = 2

Therefore, triangle PQR is similar to

triangle LMN because

1) the length of PQ is proportional to the length of MN.

2) the length of PR is proportional to the length of LN

3) angle P = angle N

4) Therefore, QR is also proportional to ML

Therefore,

PQ/MN = PR/LN = QR/ML = 2

The pair of the first two triangles are not similar triangles, while the pair of the next two triangles are similar triangles.

What are similar triangles?

If the respective angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are proportional, two triangles are said to be similar. To put it another way, comparable triangles are similar in shape but not necessarily in size. In addition, the triangles are congruent if their corresponding sides are of identical length.

As it we know that for the two triangles to be similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding sides should be the same.

A.) In the first pair of triangles,

For the first pair of triangles to be similar,

[tex]\dfrac{US}{UD}=\dfrac{UT}{UE}=\dfrac{ST}{DE}[/tex]

The above ratio should be similar, but since we can see that the ratio,

[tex]\dfrac{US}{UD}\neq \dfrac{UT}{UE}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{39}{16}\neq \dfrac{40}{16}[/tex]

As we can see that the ratio of the sides of the triangle is not the same therefore, the two of the given triangles are not similar triangles.

B.) In the second pair of triangles,

For the second pair of triangles to be similar,

[tex]\dfrac{AB}{HG}=\dfrac{BC}{GF}=\dfrac{CA}{FH}[/tex]

The above ratio should be similar, and as we can see that the ratio,

[tex]\dfrac{72}{12}=\dfrac{48}{8}=\dfrac{84}{14} =6[/tex]

As we can see that the ratio of the sides of the triangle is the same therefore, the two of the given triangles are similar triangles.
