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.

Which graph has an amplitude of 1/2?

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The only graph shown in the question doesn't have amplitude 1/2. look for a graph of a periodic wave function that has maximum y-value 1/2 (0.5) and minimum y-value 1/2 (0.5), or if it is not oscillating around the x-axis, verifies that the distance between minimum y-value and maximum y-value is "1" (one). This is because the amplitude is half of the peak-to-peak distance.

Look at the attached image as example.

How many even 3-digit positive integers can be written using the digits 1,2,4,7, and 8?

N76 [4]

Looking at the question, we can see we have 5 different numbers that can go in any order.

The above is basically saying there are 5 different numbers that can be multiplied by 4 other numbers. Those 2 can be multiplied by 3 different ones, leaving us with a 3 digit positive integer.

5 * 4* 3 = 60
