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

∠1, ∠2, and ∠3 form a straight line. If m∠3 is six more than twice m∠1 and m∠2 is 27 less than m∠3, find m∠2.
Anarel [89]

Answer:

m<2 = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they are all in a straight line, the sum of the three angles = 180

Let m ∠3 = x

Thus;

2m<1 = x - 6

m<1 = (x-6)/2

m<2 = x-27

Adding all

x + x-27 + (x-6)/2 = 180

Multiply through by 2

2x + 2x -54 + x -6 = 360

5x -60 = 360

5x = 360 + 60

5x = 420

x = 420/5

x = 84

But m<2 = x -27

m<2 = 84 -27 = 57

Svetradugi [14.3K]
The order does not matter, so we will be using combinations here. 52C1 is the first one since there is only one possibility. 16C1 is the second. You have to multiply these two, so 52 X 16 = 832.
