You have to use carefully Venn Diagram to solve this problem:
n, here below means number of students

GIVEN
----------
n(Cigarettes) = 645
n(Alcohol) = 859
n(Drugs) = 207
n(Alcohol ∩ Cigarettes) = 397
n(Alcohol ∩ Drugs) = 109
n(Alcohol ∩ Cigarettes ∩ Drugs) = 85
And 274 Students "Clean from any of the above"
Let x be the unknown number, that is n(Cigarettes ∩ Drugs)
Start by drawing 3 intersecting circles, one for Alcohol, another for Cigarettes and the 3rd for Drugs:

1) n( Alcohol ONLY) =859-397-109-85 = 268 (only Alcohol)

2) n( Cigarettes ONLY) =645-397-85 - x= 163 - x  (only Cigarettes)

3) n( Drugs ONLY) =207- 109 -85 - x = 13 - x (only Drugs).

(Remember that there are 274 Students clean, not shown in Venn)

Total of students (we need it to solve):

TOTAL n(STUDENT) = Alcohol Alone+ Cigarette Alone+ Drug Alone + 274
TOTAL n(STUDENT) = 268 + (163-x) + (13-x) + 274
TOTAL n(STUDENT) = 718 -2x
(hope you can get the TOTAL n(STUDENT) to be able to find x, which is the  
n(Drugs ∩ Cigarettes)

Find the distance between the points (8,1) and (2,10).<br> Round decimals to the nearest tenth.
miss Akunina [59]

The nearest distance between the points (8,1) and (2,10) is 11 units, which is mentioned in and also calculated by using formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

             Two points are (8,1) (2,10)

Step: 1

            By graphical method, refer the attachment,

                    First point (8,1)

                           The values of x=8 and y=1 noted in the graph

                    Second point (2,10)

                          The values of x=2 and y=10 noted in the graph

            Now join the two points (8,1) and (2,10)

                          Measure the distance between two points, the distance is 11 units. Due to some error the value becomes 10.98 or 11.1 we need to convert the answer into nearest whole number.

                                                     ( OR )

Step:1

        By formula method,

                   Distance =  \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1} )^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1} )^{2} }.....................(1)

        Where,

                    (8,1) are (x_{1},y_{1})

                    (2,10) are (x_{2},y_{2})

       From the equation,

                                 = \sqrt{(2 - 8 )^{2} +(10 - 1 )^{2} }

                                 = \sqrt{(-6 )^{2} +(9 )^{2} }

                                 = \sqrt{36 +81 }

                                  = \sqrt{117}

                                  = 10.81665

                                  ≅ 11             ( Answer convert to the nearest tenth)

                  Distance = 11 units

Result:

               The nearest distance between the points (8,1) and (2,10) is 11 units, which is mentioned in and also calculated by using formula.

What is the ratio in which the point P(3/4,5/12) decides the line segment joining points A(1/2,3/2) and B(2,-5)
timama [110]

Given:

The point P\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right) divides the line segment joining points A\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{3}{2}\right) and B(2,-5).

To find:

The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,

Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get

\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{m(2)+n(\dfrac{1}{2})}{m+n},\dfrac{m(-5)+n(\dfrac{3}{2})}{m+n}\right)

\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n},\dfrac{-5m+\dfrac{3n}{2}}{m+n}\right)

On comparing both sides, we get

\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n}

\dfrac{3}{4}(m+n)=\dfrac{4m+n}{2}

Multiply both sides by 4.

3(m+n)=2(4m+n)

3m+3n=8m+2n

3n-2n=8m-3m

n=5m

It can be written as

\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{m}{n}

1:5=m:n

Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.
