The total number of students in the school is calculated as; 600 students

<h3>How to find fraction of a total?</h3>

Usually, some figures are expressed as a fraction of a whole as depicted in this case. Thus, when we are given a fraction of a whole to be equal to a particular figure, we will just cross multiply to get the total number.

We are told that;

Number of students that play a team sport at Lincoln high school = 225

Now, we are told that the number above represents a fraction of 3/8 of the total students in that school.

Thus, if the total number of students in the school is x, then we can say that;

(3/8)x = 225

Multiply both sides by 8 to get;

3x = 1800

x = 1800/3

x = 600 students

Thus, we can conclude that if two hundred and twenty five students play a team sport at Lincoln high school and these students represent 3/8 of the total, then we can say that the total number of students in the school is 600 students.

2. After the relay race, Larry, Curly, and Moe went to the

jarptica [38.1K]

Using proportions, it is found that each of the 6 people got $0.5.

<h3>Proportions:</h3>

This question is solved by <em>proportions</em>, using a rule of three.

$3.00 is shared between 6 people, which are Larry, Curly, Moe, Alvin, Simon and Theodore. How much did each people(1 person) get?

The <em>rule of three</em> is:

$3.00 - 6 people

$x - 1 person

Applying cross multiplication:

$6x = 3$

$x = \frac{3}{6}$

$x = 0.5$

Each of the 6 people got $0.5.

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

This isn't too difficult once you understand it.

The bottom left angle of the left triangle (on the other side of 110), that angle is congruent to the 70 degrees angle. that angle is 70 degrees. y = 90 degrees, 90 + 70 = 160

180 - 160 = 20

Lim (x+1) (3x^2-9)<br> X2

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to 2} (x+1)(3x^2-9) = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out limit

$\lim_{x \to 2} (x+1)(3x^2-9)$

Step 2: Evaluate

(2 + 1)(3(2)² - 9)

3(3(4) - 9)

3(12 - 9)
