A fast food restaurant sold 16 burgers with cheese. If the ratio of burgers sold with cheese compared to without cheese was 2:3, how many burgers did they sell in total?

40 burgers

Step-by-step explanation: Since we know the ratio is 2:3, and an equal ratio for the first number is 16, we can multiply both sides by 8, (2 x 8 = 16, 3 x 8 = 24) and add them together to get 40.

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12

17 1/3
