two partners divide a profit of $2,000 so that's a difference between the two amounts is half of their average. what is the ratio of the larger to the smaller amount?

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The partners have a total profit of $2000. Since there are only 2 partners, then the average profit each one makes is $2000/2 = $1000.

The difference between the 2 amounts is half of the average, so it is $1000/2 = $500.

One amount is x.

The other amount is x + 500

The sum is 2000

x + x + 500 = 2000

2x + 500 = 2000

2x = 1500

x = 750

x + 500 = 750 + 500 = 1250

The partners had profit of $1250 and $750.

The ratio is 1250/750 = 125/75 = 5/3

5/3

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
