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

The ideal mass for a piece of chocolate is 2.5 ounces. The actual mass for a production can vary by, at most, 0.08
Nady [450]

Answer:

2.42\,oz \leq m_{real} \leq 2.58\,oz

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality must be the absolute value of the difference between real mass and ideal mass less or equal to 0.08 ounces. That is to say:

|m_{real} - m_{ideal}| \leq 0.08\,oz

|m_{real} - 2.5\,oz| \leq 0.08\,oz

There are two extreme cases:

m_{real,max} - 2.5\,oz = 0.08\,oz and m_{real, min} - 2.5\,oz = -0.08\,oz

m_{real, max} = 2.58\,oz and m_{real,min} = 2.42\,oz

Range of chocolate masses must be:

m_{real, min} \leq m_{real} \leq m_{real,max}

2.42\,oz \leq m_{real} \leq 2.58\,oz
