Answer: the number of students that were surveyed is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total number of students that were surveyed about their favorite colors
1/4 of the students preferred red.
This means that the number of students that preferred red is 1/4 × x = x/4
1/8 of the students preferred blue.
This means that the number of students that preferred blue is 1/8 × x = x/8
The remaining number of students will be the total number of students - the sum of the number of students that preferred red and the number of students that preferred blue. It becomes
x - (x/4 + x/8) = x - 3x/8 = 5x/8
3/5 of the remaining students were for green. This means that the number of students that preferred green is 3/5 × 5x/8 = 3x/8
if 15 students prefer green, then
3x/8 = 15
3x = 120
x = 120/3 = 40 students
Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.
9x - 24 = 4x + 6
Add 24 to both sides.
9x = 4x + 30
Subtract 4x from both sides.
5x = 30
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 6
Hope this helps!
Answer:Its 8.24
Step-by-step explanation:
4 times 2.06 is 8.24 :}
The answer is 35.
........
We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7
where b represents the base.
Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a
We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm
