Answer:
<u>36 tables are used to seat the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Round tables = 8 seats
Rectangular tables = 12 seats
Ratio of round tables to rectangular tables = 2:1
Number of students = 336
2. How many tables are used to seat 336 students at the banquet, if no table has an empty seat?
x = Number of rectangular tables
2x = Number of round tables
Let's solve for x, using this equation:
12x + 8 (2x) = 336
12x + 16x = 336
28x = 336
x = 336/28
x = 12 ⇒ 2x = 24
12 + 24 = 36
<u>36 tables are used to seat the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-2)=-2x-3
plug in the -2
f(-2)= -2(-2) -3
multiply it out
f(-2)= 4-3
subtract
f(-2)= 1
The fourth term in the arithmetic sequence is 4. This is because you are subtracting 3 each time, and you already have your first three numbers in the pattern, so all you have to do is subtract another 3 in order to get 4.

Rashida owns a bike rental company. She charges an initial fee of $10 for each rental and an hourly rate of $4. A customer paid $34 for a bike rental. Which of the equations below could be used to find how many hours, x, the customer rented the bike?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount customer paid = $34
Initial fee = $10
Hourly rate = $4
We need to write the equation used to find how many hours, x, the customer rented the bike.
Solution:
Let the number of hours customer rented the bike be 'x'.
Now we can say that;
Amount customer paid is equal to sum of Initial fee plus Hourly rate multiplied by number of hours customer rented the bike.
framing in equation form we get;
Hence The equation used to find number of hours customer rented the bike is .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take a real situation. Suppose he has 1500 books in total
2/3 of them are fiction. Of means multiply.
them = 1500
2/3 * 1500 = 3000/3 = 1000
Now of the one thousand fiction books 4/5 of them are mysteries.
4/5 * 1000 = 4000/5 = 800.
Now let's see what happens when we just do this by answering the question directly.
2/3 * 4/5 = 8/15 This has the meaning that 8 out of every 15 books = mysteries.
Try this on the 1500 books.
8/15 * 1500 = 9000/15 = 800. So the answers are the same and the answer the computer expects should be 8/15 or 0.533333333
Just to check, does 0.5333333 * 1500 = 800? Try it.
