The ration is 170 adults:150 children, or 170/150We can factor out a 10 from both numbers, which leaves us with
17 adults/15 children.17 and 15 have no other factors, so that's the smallest ratio we can have.

Answer: 170:150 ; 17/15

Step-by-step explanation:

At the ticket booth at a school play 170 adult tickets and 150 student tickets were sold. To find the ratio of adults to students goes thus:

Number of adults tickets sold= 170

Number of students ticket sold= 150

Ratio of adult to student= 170:150

Writing the answer as a fraction in simplest form will be:

Number of adults tickets sold= 170

Number of students ticket sold= 150

Ratio of adult to student= 170:150

Fraction= 170/150

We divide the numerator and denominator by 10

170÷10 / 160÷10

= 17/15

A balloon is rising at a constant speed of 5 ftys. A boy is cycling along a straight road at a speed of 15 ftys. When he passes
Ket [755]

Answer:

  13 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

t seconds after the boy passes under the balloon the distance between them is ...

  d = √((15t)² +(45+5t)²) = √(250t² +450t +2025)

The rate of change of d with respect to t is ...

  dd/dt = (500t +450)/(2√(250t² +450t +2025)) = (50t +45)/√(10t² +18t +81)

At t=3, this derivative evaluates to ...

  dd/dt = (50·3 +45)/√(90+54+81) = 195/15 = 13

The distance between the boy and the balloon is increasing at the rate of 13 ft per second.

_____

The boy is moving horizontally at 15 ft/s, so his position relative to the spot under the balloon is 15t feet after t seconds.

The balloon starts at 45 feet above the boy and is moving upward at 5 ft/s, so its vertical distance from the spot under the balloon is 45+5t feet after t seconds.

The straight-line distance between the boy and the balloon is found as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 15t and (45+5t). Using the Pythagorean theorem, that distance is ...

  d = √((15t)² + (45+5t)²)

Solve the equation.<br><br>-4 (y - 2) = 12<br><br>y = ?​
inna [77]
First you distribute what’s outside the parentheses (the -4)

-4•4= -4y
-4•-2= 8

New equation: -4y+8=12

Now you solve like a normal equation
12-8 is 4

New equation: -4y=4

Now divide

If i put a penny in a jar every day for a year how much money will i have
katovenus [111]
Hi there!

A year is 365 days, correct?
If we save our pennies up from January 1st to December 31st, you'd have 3 dollars (since 100 pennies is 1 dollar) and 65 pennies left over. If it was a leap year, however, you'd have 3 dollars and 66 cents. :)

Hope this helps! :D

Sally works 40 hours a week and makes $20 an hour, but her kids are in child care each day and the day care center charges her $
Maslowich

Answer:

$11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the number of hours she works by how much she gets paid per hour.

800

Multiply 50 times 7 (50 being the amount charged for her kid and 7 being the days of the week)

350

Subtract the 350 from the 800

450

Divide the 450 by the number of hours worked per week

450/40

Answer: 11.25

So Sally actually makes 11.25 per hour.

Which data set could be represented by the boxplot shown? (1 point)
lidiya [134]

The second data set represents the boxplot because in the box plot the measure of statistics is the same as the data set option second is correct.

<h3>What is the box and whisker plot?</h3>

A box and whisker plot is a method of abstracting a set of data that is approximated using an interval scale. It's also known as a box plot. These are primarily used to interpret data.

We have given a data set and a box plot shown in the picture.

From the boxplot we can see:

Minimum value = 2

Q1 = (2+4)/2 = 3

Median = (4+6)/2 = 5

Q3 = (8+10)/2 = 9

Maximum value = 10

The second data set:

{2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 8, 10, 10}

Minimum value = 2

Q1 = (2+4)/2 = 3

Median = (4+6)/2 = 5

Q3 = (8+10)/2 = 9

Maximum value = 10

Thus, the second data set represents the boxplot because in the box plot the measure of statistics is the same as the data set option second is correct.
