1 answer:

7 0

In this item, we are asked to split the numerical value which is 54 pounds such that the ratio of the numbers will be 5:4.
To answer, let 5x be the first number and 4x be the second number. With the given scenario, the equation that would best represent the given will be,
54 = 5x + 4x
The value of x is 6 giving us the values of 5x and 4x as 30 and 24, respectively.

Hence, the split will be 30 and 24.

In a group of 50 students 38 play chess and 24 play scrabble. How many plays both chess and scrabble.

Grace [21]

Answer:

Solve:

to solve, first add both partial numbers together

38 + 24 = 62

then subtract the whole number

62 - 50 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

the way this works is the overflow when adding the two numbers, is the amount of students that do both, they count in both groups meaning their counted twice, this means that if each student dropped a coin for what they played (1 for chess and/or 1 for scrabble) the 12 students who played both would drop two coins

not a professional explanation but i hope it makes sense ^^
