1. There are 78 sophomores at a school. Each is required to take at least one year of either chemistry or physics, but they may

take both. 15 are enrolled in both chemistry and phys- ics, and 47 are enrolled only in chemistry. How many students are enrolled only in physics?

We are given that there are a total of 78 students. If we set the following variables:

\begin{gathered} C=\text{students only in chemestry} \\ P=\text{students only in physics} \\ PC=\text{students in physics and chemistry} \end{gathered}

Then, the sum of all of these must be 78, that is:

C+P+PC=78

Since there are 15 in chemistry and physics and 47 in chemistry, we may replace that into the equation and we get:

47+P+15=78

Simplifying:

62+P=78

Now we solve for P by subtracting 62 on both sides:

\begin{gathered} 62-62+P=78-62 \\ P=16 \end{gathered}

Therefore, there are 16 students in physics

Which two ratios represent quantities that are proportional
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Two quantities have a proportional relationship if they can be expressed in the general form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. In other words, these quantities always maintain the same ratio--that is, when you divide any pair of the two values, you always get the same number k.

A circle has a radius of 9 ft. Find the length of s of the arc intercepted by a central angle of 97 degrees. Do not round any in
Sedaia [141]
\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=\cfrac{\theta \pi r}{180}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle\ in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
r=9\\
\theta = 97
\end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{97\cdot \pi \cdot 9}{180}
