Answer:

Adults that clean in March = 18

Adults that clean in April = 48

Adults that clean in May = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Adults that clean in the months of March, April and May = 70

Let a represent March, b represent April and c represent May.

Therefore, a + b + c = 70     (i)

From the question, the number of adults that clean in April is 14 more than number of the adults cleaning in months of March and May combined.

b - ( a + c) = 14      (ii)

also, the total number who clean in April and May is 2 more than three times the number who clean in March.

b + c - 3a = 2     (iii)

From (i), a + c =   70 - b (iv)

Substituting (iv) into (ii), b - ( 70 - b) = 14

b -70 + b = 14

2b = 84, b =48

Therefore a + c = 70 - 48

a + c = 22; c = 22 - a   (v)

Substituting (v) and b = 48 into (iii)

48 + 22 - a -3a = 2

4a = 72, a = 18

Therefore, c = 22 - 18

c = 4

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>

Help on precal, what are the answers?
Sloan [31]
1) cscΘ = - 2

=>

        1
      ------ = - 2
      sinΘ

=> sinΘ = - 0.5 => Θ is in the third and fourth quadrant

=> Θ = 180° + 30° = 210°

and Θ = 360° + 30° = 330°

2) tan Θ = √3

=> Θ = 60° and Θ = 180° + 60° = 240°
