Stephen, Gavin and Jim share some sweets in the ratio 1:4:4. Stephen gets 13 sweets. How many more sweets does Gavin get over Stephen?

39 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the ratio is

1+4+4= 9

to find the number of sweets shared we say

1/9*X=13 sweets

X=9*13

X=117

therefore Gavin and jim will share equal number of sweets

117-13

104 sweets. Jim gets 52 while Gavin gets 52 sweets.

How many more sweets does Gavin get over Stephen?

52-13

Gavin get 39 more sweets over Stephen. I hope that helps

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

just keep asking questions until you have a better understanding.
