you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.
Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.

<h3>How many buses would it take to carry only the boys?</h3>

We know that there are (3 + 1/2) groups, such that each group fill one bus.

2/5 of the students are boys, then the number of groups that we can make only with boys is:

(2/5)*(3 + 1/2) = 6/5 + 1/5 = 7/5 = 5/5 + 2/5 = 1 + 2/5

Then you can make one and a little less than a half of a group, which means that you need 1 and 2/5 of a buss to transport the boys, rounding that to the a whole number, you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.

<h3>How far is Mark from his house?</h3>

The original distance is:

D = (2 + 3/4) miles.

But Mark only covers 2/3 of that distance, then we have:

d = (2/3)*D = (2/3)*(2 + 3/4) miles = (4/3 + 2/4) miles

d = (4/3 + 1/2) miles = (8/6 + 3/6) miles = (1 + 5/6) miles

Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.

write the slope- intercept form of the equation of the line parallel to - x+5y=25, passing through the point (-5,-5). simplify

Olenka [21]

To find the equation of a line that is parallel to your original equation and goes through a certain point on a graph, here's what you need to know:
First you need to find the slope of your original equation.
To do that, you need to convert it to slope intercept form (y = mx+b).
Add the x over, and then divide everything by 5 to get the y by itself.
Here's what that would look like (without the small steps that I mentioned):
-x + 5y = 25
5y = x + 25
y = 1/5x + 5

That's the original equation rewritten in slope intercept form.
The m represents the slope, so this equation's slope is 1/5.

Because you are given a point, and now you have a slope, the best and easiest route is using point slope form.
I've seen different versions of the equation base but I prefer y - y(sub1) = m(x - x(sub1))
But since I can't use subscripts in this, I'll use the one with h and k. The h is the x value of the point, and the k is the y value.
(h,k)
Then just substitute the values in and solve for y.
y - k = m(x - h)
y + 5 = 1/5(x + 5)
y + 5 = 1/5x + 1
y = 1/5x - 4

Your final answer is
y = 1/5x - 4
You can double check by using a graph. If the slopes are the same, the lines should be parallel.

I hope that helps. If anything didn't make sense, feel free to ask me.

If three times the larger of two numbers is four times the smaller and the difference between the numbers is 8, then the larger

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Larger number = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Larger number = y

y - x = 8 -----------(I)

3y = 4x ---------------(II)

3y/4 = x

Plug in x = 3y/4 in equation (I)

$y - \frac{3}{4}y = 8\\\\\frac{4}{4}y - \frac{3}{4}y = 8\\\\\frac{1}{4}y = 8\\$

y = 8*4

y = 32

Plug in y = 32 in equation (II)

3y = 4x

3*32 = 4x

4x = 3*32

x = $\frac{3*32}{4}$

x = 3 *8

x = 24

Compared to last year, the population of boom town has increased by 25%. The population is now 6,600. What was the population la

prisoha [69]

Answer:

5280people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Percentage increase of population = 25%

Population now = 6600

Unknown:

Population last year = ?

Solution:

Let the population last year = y;

Then;

Percentage of last years population plus the population of last year should give us this year's population;

( $\frac{25}{100}$ of y) + y = 6600

0.25y + y = 6600

1.25y = 6600

y = $\frac{6600}{1.25}$ = 5280people

Last year, there was 5280people in the locality.
