Let x = Class A
Let y = Class B
Let z = Class C
Equations from problem:
x - 160 = y
2/3x = z
y + 92 = z
Solving through substitution:
2/3x = y + 92
2/3x = (x - 160) + 92
2/3x = x - 68
-1/3x = -68
3(-1/3x) = 3(-68)
-x = -204
x = 204
Now substitute x in the first equation to get y:
204 - 160 = y
44 = y
44 = Class B
There are 44  folded paper cranes in Class B.

in a given classroom the number of girls is 10 greater than number of boys if the ratio of the number of girls to the number of
Xelga [282]

Answer:

a) 35,  b) 25,  c) 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys, so it's a good thing to choose a variable to represent the number of boys.

Number of boys:  b

Number of girls:  b + 10

Ratio of girls:boys is 7:5, so

\frac{b+10}{b}=\frac{7}{5}

"Cross multiply" to get

7b=5(b+10)\\7b=5b+50\\2b=50\\b=25

There are 25 boys.  There are 10 more girls, so the number of girls is 35, and the total number of students is 60.

That's a packed classroom!

Can someone help me with problem please? It’s special right triangle: decimal answers (Round to the nearest tenth)
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

h= 4.6, c=7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to know in a 30 60 90 triangle the sides ratios are x, 2x and x√3, and for 45 90 45 it is x, x and x√2

so <em>h</em> is 8/√3 and you rationalize the bottom so it becomes 8√3/3. when you solve this and round to nearest hundred it becomes 4.6. for the second one, it is 5√2 and when you solve this and round, it becomes 7.1

Find the sum of a finite geometric series. The Smiths spent $2,000 on clothes in a particular year. If they increase the amount
boyakko [2]

\bf \stackrel{\textit{first year}}{2000}~~,~~\stackrel{\textit{second year}}{2000+\stackrel{\textit{10\% of 2000}}{\frac{2000}{10}}}\implies 2200

now, if we take 2000 to be the 100%, what is 2200? well, 2200 is just 100% + 10%, namely 110%, and if we change that percent format to a decimal, we simply divide it by 100, thus \bf 110\%\implies \cfrac{110}{100}\implies 1.1.

so, 1.1 is the decimal number we multiply a term to get the next term, namely 1.1 is the common ratio.

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}\\\\S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad \begin{cases}n=n^{th}\ term\\a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\r=\textit{common ratio}\\----------\\a_1=2000\\r=1.1\\n=4\end{cases}\\\\\\S_4=2000\left[ \cfrac{1-(1.1)^4}{1-1.1} \right]\implies S_4=2000\left(\cfrac{-0.4641}{-0.1}  \right)\\\\\\S_4=2000(4.641)\implies S_4=9282
