The event coordinator asks you to determine how many students participated in the track-and-field day. The total number of students in seventh and eighth grade combined is 584; "5" /"8" of them are seventh graders and "3" /"8" of them are eighth graders. If "4" /"5" of the seventh graders participated in track-and-field day and "7" /"8" of the eighth graders participated, about how many total students participated? Describe the process you used to find your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Given that, the total number of students in seventh and eighth grade combined is 584.

The number of students in seventh grade= 5/8 of the total number of students.

[tex]=\frac 5 8 \times 584=365[/tex]

As 4/5 of the total seventh-grade students participated in the track-and-field-event.

So, the number of seventh-grade students participated

[tex]= \frac 4 5 \times 365=292[/tex]

The number of students in the eighth grade 3/8 of the total number of students.

[tex]=\frac 3 8 \times 584=219[/tex]

As 7/8 of the total eighth-grade students participated in the track-and-field-event.

So, the number of seventh-grade students participated

[tex]= \frac78 \times 219=191.625.[/tex]

The number of students must be a counting number, but here, as per the given information, the number of seventh-grade students participated coming out a fractional number, so the given information is incorrect.

Although, as per the given data, the mathematical value of the total number of students participated from both the grade combined

=292+191.625

=483.625 (mathematically)

Again, in real life, the fractional value of the total number of students is not possible.

Find two consecutive odd numbers such that the sum of the larger number and twice the smaller number is 27 less then foir times the smaller number

Answers

Answer:

           29 and 31      

Step-by-step explanation:

x      - some integer

2x+1      - an odd integer (the smaller one)

2x+1+2=2x+3       - the next odd integer consecutive to 2x+1  (the larger)

2×(2x+1)       - twice the smaller number

2x+3+2•(2x+1)     -the sum of the larger number and twice the smaller number

4•(2x+1)      - four times the smaller number

4•(2x+1)-27     - 27 less then four times the smaller number

2x + 3 + 2•(2x + 1) = 4•(2x + 1) - 27

2x + 3 + 4x + 2 = 8x + 4 - 27

            6x + 5  =  8x - 23

                  -5            -5

              6x  =  8x - 28

             -8x       -8x

            -2x  =  - 28

          ÷(-2)      ÷(-2)

              x  = 14

2x+1 = 2•14 + 1 = 29

2x+3 = 2•14 + 3 = 31

Check:  31+2•29=31+58=89;  4•29-27=116-27=89

Inspectors for a hospital chain with multiple locations randomly select some of their locations for a cleanliness check of their operating rooms. The inspectors check every operating room in the hospitals that were chosen. What sampling method was used?

Answers

Answer:

Cluster Random Sample

Step-by-step explanation:

The operating rooms were divided into (hospital locations) and inspectors sampled every operating room from some of the groups.

Sampling method is the method where the subset of an overall population is selected.

The sampling method used was cluster sampling

From the question, we understand that:

The inspectors select some locationsThen all selected locations was checked

The above illustrates cluster sampling.

This is so because, cluster sampling involves breaking down a population into smaller size.

In this case, the smaller size are the locations that were selected.

The Quik-Clean Car Wash charges $15 for a car wash plus $2.50 per gallon for unleaded gasoline. The Mighty Clean Car Wash charges $10 for a carwash plus $2.75 per gallon for unleaded gasoline. Josh is comparing the cost of having his car wash plus filling up his tank with gas at each business. How many gallons of gas would he need to purchase for the cost to be the same at each car wash?

Answers

Answer:

Josh would need to purchase 20 gallons of gas for the cost to be the same at each car wash

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to model both car wash's costs. The Quik-Clean Car Wash charges $15 for a car wash plus $2.50 per gallon for unleaded gasoline. If x is the number of gallons of unleaded gasoline. the total charges of this store are:

C1=15+2.5*x

The Mighty Clean Car Wash charges $10 for a carwash plus $2.75 per gallon for unleaded gasoline. Following the same procedure, their costs are:

C2=10+2.75*x

Josh wants to know how many gallons of gas will make both businesses charge the same. Equating both equations:

15+2.5*x=10+2.75*x

Simplifying:

-0.25x=-5

Solving:

x=-5/(-0.25)=20

Josh would need to purchase 20 gallons of gas for the cost to be the same at each car wash

Suppose that the volume of water in the rain barrel
decreased by 4 5/8 gallons in four minutes. What will be
the change in the volume of water after one minute?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is a rate for one of something.

It is written as a ratio with a denominator of one.

The change in the volume of water in one minute is 1 5/32 gallons.

What is a unit rate?

A unit rate is a rate for one of something.

It is written as a ratio with a denominator of one.

We have,

4 5/8 gallons decrease in 4 minutes.

This can be written as:

4 5/8 gallons = 4 minutes

37/8 gallons = 4 minutes

Dividing both sides by 4 we get,

(37/8) / 4 = 4/4 minutes

37/(8x4) = 1 minute

37/32 = 1 minute

1 5/32 gallons = 1 minute

Thus the change in the volume of water in one minute is 1 5/32 gallons.

Spoken texts include oral stories, interviews, dialogues, monologues (e.g. a welcome to country speech, a presentation to the class), phone conversations, discussions, role plays, or any other piece of spoken language.



Spoken texts also have shorter, less complex words and phrases. They have fewer nominalisations, more verb based phrases, and a more limited vocabulary. Spoken texts are lexically less dense than written language - they have proportionately more grammatical words than lexical words.

At the beginning of the business day, a bank's vault held $575,900. By the end of the day, $(3.5 103) had been added to the vault. How much money did the banks vault hold at the end of the business day write ur answer in standard form

Answers

3.5*10^3=3,500

3,500+ 575,900=579,400

The bank vault will hold $575,900 + $3.5 x 10^3 = $579,400 at the end of the business day.

What are integers?

An integer is a number with no decimal or fractional part and it includes negative and positive numbers, including zero.

Now it is given that,

Money in the bank vault at the beginning of the day = $575,900

Money added in the vault at the end of the day = $3.5 x 10^3 = $3,500

Since money is added in the vault thus it is gain.

So, Money added in the vault at the end of the day = + $3,500

Thus, Money at the end of the business day = $575,900 + $3,500 = $579,400

Thus, the bank vault will hold $575,900 + $3.5 x 10^3 = $579,400 at the end of the business day.

Answers

Answer:

w = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Create formula:

540 = 40w - 60 where 540 is the cost of the camera, 40 is the amount saved, w is the number of weeks, 60 is the amount owed

Solve for w

540 = 40w - 60: subtract 60

480 = 40w: divide by 40

w = 12
