Answer:

a)

Lowell: 4 counselors

Fairview: 9 counselors

b)

2 new counselors

Step-by-step explanation:

How many counselors should be assigned to each school using Hamilton's method?

Number of students

Lowell: 3584  

Fairview: 6816

Total number of students: 10400

Divisor D = (Total number of students)/(number of counselors)= 10400/13 = 800

<u>Temporal assignment</u>

3584/800 = 4 + 0.48 ==> 4 counselors for Lowell

6816/800 = 8 + 0.52 ==> 8 counselors for Fairview

There is one counselor left. According to Hamilton's method she should be assigned to the school with the largest remainder, that is Fairview.

<u>Final assignment</u>

Lowell: 4 counselors

Fairview: 9 counselors

The next year, a new school is opened, with 1824 students. Using the divisor from above, determine how many additional counselors should be hired for the new school

1824/800 = 2 + 0.28

<em>Two new counselors should be hired.</em>

Age Problem. Please help. I suck at these.

Let Cynthia's age be C, then Abigail's age A

since Abigail is 8 years older, her age A = C+8.

20 years ago Cynthia's she was C-20 and Abigail was A-20=3(C-20)

A-20=3C-60
A=3C-40
but we just said A=C+8
so 3C-40=C+8
2C=48
C=24
A=24+8=32

Cynthia's age is 24 and Abigail's age is 32

What is (-4,5) and (8,-1)
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

the slope-intercept equation of a line that passes through the coordinate (-4,5) and (8,-1) is

y  =  - 0.5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Apply the slope formula; y^2 - y^1 divided by x^2 - x^1

y^2 is -1

y^1 is 5

x^2 is 8

x^1 is -4

-1 - 5 = -6

8 - (-4) = 12

-6/12 is -1/2 or -0.5

2) To find the y-intercept, hoose either of the coordinates and replace y, m, and x in the y= mx+b formula.

5= -0.5(-4) + b

5= 2 + b

3= b
