Answer:

126 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, ratio of people who preferred tea to those who preferred coffee = 9:5

Let number of people who preferred coffee = x

Number of people who preferred tea = x + 36

Total number of people in survey = x + (x+36)

Ratio of people who preferred tea to those who preferred coffee = (x + 36)/x = 9/5

Cross multiply to solve for x

5(x + 36) = x(9)

5x + 180 = 9x

Subtract 5x from both sides

180 = 9x - 5x

180 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

180/4 = x

45 = x

x = 45

<em>Number of people who preferred coffee = x = 45</em>

<em>Number of people who preferred tea = x + 36 = 45 + 36 = 81</em>

<em>Total number of people in the survey = x + (x + 36) = 45 + 81 = 126 people</em>

For a sequence an=an-1+an-2 and a1=1, a2=2, find its first four terms<br>​
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

3, 5, 8, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁ = 2 + 1 = 3

a₄ = a₃ + a₂ = 3 + 2 = 5

a₅ = a₄ + a₃ = 5 + 3 = 8

a₆ = a₅ + a₄ = 8 + 5 = 13

The area of a rectangular television screen is 3456 in^2. The width of that screen is 24 inches longer than the length. What is
shutvik [7]
1. The problem says that the television has a rectangular shape. So, the formula for caculate the area of a rectangle is:

 A=LxW

 "A" is the area of the rectangle (A=3456 inches²).
 "L" is the the length of the rectangle.
 "W" is the width of the rectangle.

 2. The <span>width of the screen is 24 inches longer than the length. This can be expressed as below:

 W=24+L

 3. Then, you must substitute </span>W=24+L into the formula A=LxW:
<span>
 </span>A=LxW
<span> 3456=L(24+L)
 3456=24L+L</span>²
<span>
 4. The quadratic equation is:

 L</span>²+24L-3456=0

 5. When you solve the quadratic equation, you obtain:

 L=48 inches

 6. Finally, you must substitute the value of the length, into W=24+L:

 W=24+L
 W=24+48
 W=72 inches

 7. Therefore, the dimensions of the screen are:

 L=48 inches
 W=72 inches<span> </span>

Just number 8 help plzzz
sveticcg [70]
Ayla is correct, it has a degree of 8.
Because the degree is the highest exponent. In this case the highest exponent is 8 therefore the degree is 8.

You do not add the exponents because that’s not how it works :) hope this helps!

What is 7.506 rounded to the nearest tenth
PIT_PIT [208]
7.5, because:
Ex: .1, 1 is in the tenths place because it is right after the decimal. The digit after 5 is 0, and that rounds down. 0-4 round down, and 5-9 round up. So, 0 would keep 5 as itself.
