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?

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

//blooming serenity//

beautiful in the morning

mysterious at night

wonderous nature souring

with all it's mystical might

the flower that blooms

to the fox that looms

nocturnal creatures

with various features

a blooming flower soon in sight

as a new little hatchling fears to take flight  

afraid to leave it's calming nest,

but dear little bird, mother knows best

as sure as there are stars in the sky,

life is not about who, where what, when or why-

it's the journey that follows

adventures we swallow

of   nature's deep wonders,

natural disasters and storm's thunders.

blooming serenity

life and nature, truly is heavenly.
