Sara, Nick and June share some sweets in the ratio 5:5:3. Sara gets 18 more sweets than June. How many sweets does Nick get?

 45

Step-by-step explanation:

5 : 5 : 3 is simplified so it can be rewritten as  5x  :  5x  :  3x

                                                                            ↓        ↓      ↓

                                                                        Sara    Nick  June

Sara has 18 more than June --> 5x = 3x + 18

                                                    2x = 18

                                                      x = 9

In expanded form we have 5(9) : 5(9) : 3(9)

                                              45  :  45  :  27

                                               ↓        ↓      ↓

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
