£980 is divided between caroline, sarah & gavyn so that caroline gets twice as much as sarah, and sarah gets three times as much as gavyn. how much does sarah get?

Sarah has received £ 294

Solution:

Given that £980 is divided between Caroline, Sarah & Gavyn

Let "c" be the amount received by caroline

Let "s" be the amount received by sarah

Let "g" be the amount received by gavyn

Caroline gets twice as much as Sarah

amount received by caroline = twice as much as Sarah

amount received by caroline = 2(amount received by sarah)

c = 2s ---- eqn 1

Sarah gets three times as much as Gavyn

amount received by sarah = three times as much as Gavyn

amount received by sarah = 3(amount received by gavyn)

s = 3g ------- eqn 2

Given that total amount is 980

c + s + g = 980 --- eqn 3

Let us solve eqn 1, 2, 3 to get values of "c" "s" "g"

From eqn 2,

 --- eqn 4

Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 4 in eqn 3

Thus sarah has received £ 294

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
