People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x

y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280

So we have 280 people in the building.

check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women

so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!

hope this is right! have a great. day

Using the side lengths of △PQR and △STU, which angle has a sine ratio of 4/5?
marishachu [46]

Given the two triangles, and the sine ratio formula is equal to:

Sin(x) = O/H

Where x is one angle of the triangle

O is the opposite side of the angle x

H is the hypotenuse of the triangle

 

To solve this we have to fine O/H = 4/5

So the answer is

Sin (P) = 16/20 = 4/5

<span>So angle P has the sine ratio of 4/5</span>
