On a recent test, the ratio of Joe's mark to Ann's
mark to Maiseybelle's mark was 8:6:11. If Joe
got 72, what was the difference in the marks of
the other two?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The difference in the marks of Anna and Maiseybelle's was 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the problem

∵ The ratio of Joe's mark to Ann's  mark to Maiseybelle's mark

   was 8 : 6 : 11

∵ Joe got 72

By using the ratio method

→  Joe    :    Ann    :    Maiseybelle

→  8        :    6        :    11

→  72      :    x         :    y

By using cross multiplication

∵ 8 × x = 72 × 6

∴ 8 x = 432

- Divide both sides by 8

x = 54

∵ 8 × y = 72 × 11

∴ 8 y = 792

- Divide both sides by 8

y = 99

∵ x represents Ann's mark

Ann got 54

∵ y represents Maiseybelle's mark

Maiseybelle's got 99

Let us find the difference between Ann's mark and Maiseybelle's mark

∵ 99 - 54 = 45

∴ The difference between Ann's mark and Maiseybelle's mark is 45

The difference in the marks of Anna and Maiseybelle's was 45

The difference in the marks of the other two when the ratio of Joe's mark to Ann's mark to Maiseybelle's mark was 8:6:11  is 45.

Calculation of the difference:

Since the ratio of Joe's mark to Ann's mark to Maiseybelle's mark was 8:6:11. And,  Joe got 72.

So,

Let us assume Joe's marks be 8x, Anna's mark be 6x and Ellas's marks be 11x.

so based on this,

8x = 72

x = 9

Now

Anna's marks = 6x = 9(6)=54

Ella's marks = 11x= 9(11)=99

So,

Difference should be

= 99-54

=45

hence, The difference in the marks of the other two when the ratio of Joe's mark to Ann's mark to Maiseybelle's mark was 8:6:11  is 45.
