Semester 1:
let the number of students in the art class be 2a, and the number of the students in the gym class be 7a. (check: the ratio is 2a:7a = 2:7)
so the total number of students is 9a.
semester 2:
the 9a students are go to the art class and gym class at a a ratio of 5: 4,
so 5a students go to the art class, and 4a students go to the gym class.
<span>75 students are in art class in second semester means that 5a=75,
so a=75/5=15.
In the 1st semester the number of students was:
art class: 2a=2*15=30
gym class: 7a=7*15=105</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Step 1: Determine quantity per liquid</em>
liquid 1=7/8 cup
liquid 2=9/10 cup
<em>Step 2: Derive expression to calculate total amount of mixture</em>
The expression below can be derived;
T=a+b
where;
T=total amount of mixture
a=total amount of liquid 1
b=total amount of liquid 2
In our case;
a=7/8 cup
b=9/10 cup
replacing;
T=(7/8)+(9/10)=1 31/40 cups
The total amount of mixture=1 31/40 cups
Answer:
x=a+b
Step-by-step explanation:
Just move a to the other side (by adding it)
