Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote:

a: number of students wearing sneakers

b: number of students wearing boots

We have:

a + b = 36

a/b = 4/5 (multiply both sides by b => a = 4b/5)

Substitute a = 4b/5 into a + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + 5b/5 = 36

=> 9b/5 = 36

=> b/5 = 4

=> b = 20

=> a = 4b/5 = 4(20)/5 = 16

Do solve this you use PEMDAS. This stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Because there are no parentheses or exponents in this equation, we go straight to the division.

1) 8 divided by 4 equals two so we rewrite the equation. 5+6 x 2 - 2 + 7.

2) Next in order of pemdas is multiplication. Yes I know that in pemdas multiplication does come before division but it doesn’t matter in this problem which you do first. So now we do 6 x2 =12. We then rewrite the equation 5+12-2+7.

3) lastly, addition and subtraction are grouped together and you can just do it in order of the problem. So we do 5+12=17. 17-2=15. And 15+7=22.

So the final answer is: 22

igomit [66]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the question, here are the answer choices:

<em>A)  =A1*A2*A3*A4 </em>

<em>B)  =A1*A2+A3+A1*A4 </em>

<em>C)  =A1*(A2+A3+A1)*A4 </em>

<em>D)  =A1*A2+(A3+A1)*A4</em>

<em />

We first need to multiply A1 and A2, this will give weight of passengers.

To get weight of luggage, we multiply A1 and A4.

We also need the checked weight to add to that, which is in A3. So then we add up A3 with those 2.

So we will get

A1*A2 + A1*A4 + A3

This is given in a different order in Option B. Hence, option B is right.
