<h3>Answer: 62</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

18 people get off, and 21 get on

We can write the 18 as -18 to indicate a loss of 18 people. The 21 as +21 to mean we gained 21 people.

The net change is -18+21 = +3 or simply 3.

After the first stop, 3 more people are on the train compared to before reaching this stop.

If x is the number of people before the stop, then x+3 is the number of people after the stop. Set this equal to 65 and solve for x.

x+3 = 65

x = 65-3

x = 62 people were on the train to begin with.

-----------

Check:

62 people to start off

62-18 = 44 people after the 18 people get off

44+21 = 65 people after the 21 new people get on

The answer is confirmed.

Write 15.1 as a fraction

mel-nik [20]

If you want to convert 15.1 into a fraction, you can do it like this:
15 equals to 15/1 and 0.1 equals to 1/10
The result is 15 1/10.

If you want to make it a pure fraction, you have to make one additional step:
because you want to add 15/1 and 1/10, you have to get the same denominators, so 15/1 changes to 150/10.
Now, you can add 150/10 and 1/10. The result is 151/10.

Priya spent 1/2 of the day hiking. She was lost 5/6 of the time that she was hiking. What fraction of the day was Priya lost

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{12}$ fraction of the day was Priya lost

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Priya spent 1/2 of the day hiking.

⇒She spent for hiking = 1/2 of the day.

It is also given that:

She was lost 5/6 of the time that she was hiking.

⇒ $\text{She lost} = \frac{5}{6} \times \text{She was hiking}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\text{She lost} = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{12}$ of the day

therefore, $\frac{5}{12}$ fraction of the day was Priya lost

The director of the town's sports programs is studying trends in enrollment over time. She finds that the number of participants

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The function is : $y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, after $x$ years, the number of participants in the town's soccer program is $y_{1}$ and in the town's street hockey program is $y_{2}$

This year, there are 120 children participating in each program.

The number of participants in the town's soccer program increases by 10% each year.

Using the exponential growth formula, the number of participants in the town's soccer program after $x$ years will be.....

$y_{1}=120(1+0.10)^x\\ \\ y_{1}=120(1.10)^x$

The number of participants in the town's street hockey program increases by 10 children each year.

So, the number of increased participants in $x$ years $=10x$

Thus, the number of participants in the town's street hockey program after $x$ years will be.....

$y_{2}=120+10x$

If the total number of children participating in the two programs is represented as $y$ , then.....

$y= y_{1}+y_{2}\\ \\ y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$

So, the function that can be used to predict the total number of children participating in the town's soccer and street hockey programs in x years will be: $y=120(1.10)^x+120+10x$
