There are 270 students at Colfax Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 5:4. There are 180 students at Winthrop Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 4:5. The two schools hold a dance and all students from both schools attend. What fraction of the students at the dance are girls?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of students at Colfax Middle School = 270

Ratio of boys to girls is 5:4.

Total number of students at Winthrop Middle School = 180

Ratio of boys to girls is 4:5.

The two schools hold a dance and all students from both schools attend.

To find:

The fraction of the students at the dance are girls

Solution:

There are 270 students at Colfax Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 5:4.

[tex]5+4=9[/tex]

Number of boys [tex]=270\times \dfrac{5}{9}=150[/tex]

Number of girls [tex]=270\times \dfrac{4}{9}=120[/tex]

There are 180 students at Winthrop Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 4:5.

[tex]4+5=9[/tex]

Number of boys [tex]=180\times \dfrac{4}{9}=80[/tex]

Number of girls [tex]=180\times \dfrac{5}{9}=100[/tex]

Now,

Total number of students in both schools [tex]= 270+180[/tex]

                                                                [tex]= 450[/tex]

Total number of girls in both schools [tex]= 120+100[/tex]

                                                         [tex]= 220[/tex]

The fraction of the students at the dance are girls is

[tex]\text{Required fraction}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of girls in both schools}}{\text{Total number of students in both schools}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Required fraction}=\dfrac{220}{450}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Required fraction}=\dfrac{22}{45}[/tex]

Therefore, the required fraction is [tex]\dfrac{22}{45}[/tex].

Two students are having a party. They want to make treat bags for their guests. They want each bag to be identical with nothing leftover. They have 36 Silly Bandz and 72 pieces of Double Bubble to put in the bags. What is the greatest number of treat bags they can make? How many of each item will be in each treat bag?

Answers

Answer:

Two students can make maximum 36 treat bags.

Number of pieces of silly Bandz in each bag [tex]=1[/tex]

Number of pieces of Double Bubble in each bag [tex]=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pieces of silly Bandz = 36

Number of pieces of Double Bubble = 72

To find greatest number of treat bags that they can make, find H.C.F. of 36 and 72

[tex]36=(2^2)(3^2)\\72=(2^3)(3^2)[/tex]

[tex]H.C.F(36,72)=36[/tex]

So,

they can make maximum 36 treat bags.

Number of pieces of silly Bandz in each bag [tex]=\frac{36}{36}=1[/tex]

Number of pieces of Double Bubble in each bag [tex]=\frac{72}{36}=2[/tex]

Is 5:2 the same as 2:5

Answers

Answer:

It is not the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 5/2 greater than 2/5? Is 5/2 bigger than 2/5? Is 5/2 larger than 2/5? These are all the same questions with one answer.

When comparing fractions such as 5/2 and 2/5, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.        

  To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below: 5/2 = 2.5

2/5 = 0.4 Therefore, 5/2 is greater than 2/5 and the answer to the question "Is 5/2 greater than 2/5?" is yes.

Step-by-step

Its different because 5:2 and 2:5 (or 5/2 and 2/5) have different numerators and denominators.

3. A water balloon was thrown
from a window. The height
of the water balloon over
time can be modeled by the
function y= 16x2 + 160x + 50.
What was the maximum
height of the water balloon
after it was thrown?


Answers

Note: It the given equation the coefficient of [tex]x^2[/tex] must be -16 instead of 16.

Given:

Consider the height  of the water balloon over  time can be modeled by the  function

[tex]y=-16x^2+160x+50[/tex]

To find:

The maximum height of the water balloon  after it was thrown.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]y=-16x^2+160x+50[/tex]

Here, leading coefficient is negative. So, it is a downward parabola and vertex of a downward parabola, is the point of maxima.

If a parabola is [tex]f(x)=ax^2+bx+c[/tex], then

[tex]Vertex=\left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},f(-\dfrac{b}{2a})\right)[/tex]

Here, [tex]a=-16,b=160,c=50[/tex]. So,

[tex]-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{160}{2(-16)}[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{160}{-32}[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{b}{2a}=5[/tex]

Now, put x=5 in the given equation.

[tex]y=-16(5)^2+160(5)+50[/tex]

[tex]y=-16(25)+800+50[/tex]

[tex]y=-400+850[/tex]

[tex]y=450[/tex]

The vertex of the given parabolic equation is (5,450).

Therefore, the maximum height of the balloon is 450 units after 5 units of time.

Basic math equations and calculations play an important role in many jobs tasks. If you were working at a grocery store and your cash register was not automatically calculating the 20% off sale on someone's cereal--how would you solve this issue from the options listed below? If the cereal was normally $2.88, I would... 1 point Take $2.88 and times it by 80 for a sale price of $2.30. Subtract $0.20 for a sale price total of $2.68. Divide 20 from $2.88 for a sale price total of $0.15.

Answers

Given :

Price of cereal without off, C = $2.88 .

Percentage off, P = 20% .

To Find :

Price after applying 20% off.

Solution :

Final price = Initial price - 20 % of initial price

[tex]F = 2.88 - 2.88\times \dfrac{20}{100}\\\\F=2.88-0.576\\\\F=\$ 2.304[/tex]

Therefore, final price after sale is $2.304 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

A new uniform cost 49.99 if its on sale for 15% off what is the cost before tax

Answers

Answer:

$42.49

Step-by-step explanation:

This means the cost of the item to you is $42.49. You will pay $42.49 for a item with original price of $49.99 when discounted 15%. In this example, if you buy an item at $49.99 with 15% discount, you will pay 49.99 - 7.4985 = 42.49 dollars.

Answer:

42.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = 15% of 49.99

              = 0.15 * 49.99

              = 7.4985

         

Cost after discount = 49. 99 - 7.4985

                               = 42.4915

                               = 42.49

Answers

Given :

A rectangle with a length of 3 x and height of x. If Kyle uses 18 feet of wood to make the frame.

To Find :

The length of the frame.

Solution :

We know, perimeter of the rectangle is given by :

[tex]P=2(l+b)\\\\P=2(3x+x)\\\\P=8x[/tex]

Now, it is given that 18 feet of wood is used.

So,

[tex]8x=18\\\\x = 2.25\ feet[/tex]

Therefore, length of frame is given by  3x = 6.75 feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer: A, 6.75

Step-by-step explanation: If the frame is 3 times the width and Kyle uses 18 feet them this the only correct option out of the other 3.

Which simplified equation is equivalent to the equation shown below?

15x - 5 + x= -47

A. 11x= -47
B. 16x-5= -47
C. 14x - 5 = -47
D. 21x = -47

Answers

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplified equation that is equivalent to the given equation is 16x - 5 = -47. The correct answer is option B.

The equation is given as follows:

15x - 5 + x = -47

A solution to an equation, as we know, is a variable value that, when substituted into the equation, provides a true claim.

To simplify the equation 15x - 5 + x = -47, we can combine the like terms on the left side of the equation.

Combining the terms with 'x', we have:

15x + x - 5 = -47

16x - 5 = -47

Therefore, the simplified equation that is equivalent to the given equation is 16x - 5 = -47.
