An amount of $600 is shared among three people in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 , find the difference between the smallest and the largest share

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount to be distributed is $600.

Ratio of distribution is 1:2:3

Let the smallest share be x

Then the other shares will be 2x and 3x as per the ratio of distribution.

But sum of all shares is 600.

So the respective shares are 100,200 and 300.

Difference between the largest and smallest share is

5050

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
