a+c=40

c=40-a

11c +20a=728

11(40-a)+20a=728

440-11a +20a=728

440+9a=728

9a = 288

a=288/9 = 32

32 adults

8 children

A + c = 40
20a + 11c = 728

Multiply equation # 1 by -11, then add the two equations together to clear the 'c' variable and solve for 'a'.

-11(a + c = 40)


20a + 11c = 728
-11a - 11c = -440
------------------------
9a  = 288
Divide both sides by 9
a = 32

a + c = 40
32 + c = 40
subtract 32 from both sides
c = 8

You are buying lawn seed for the the football field a 10 pound bag of lawn seed covers 2000 square feet.
Masja [62]

A football field is 120 yards long (100 yards playing field plus 2 end zones 10 yards each) by 53 1/3 yards wide.

1 yard = 3 feet.

120 yards x 3 feet per yard = 360 feet

53 1/3 yards x 3 = 160 feet.

The area of the football fields is 360 x 160 = 57,600 square feet.

1 bag covers 2000 square feet:

57,600 / 2,000 = 28.8 bags, round up to 29 bags are needed.

1 bag cost $27.79.

29 bags x $27.79 = $805.91 total cost.

Al sumar fracciones con igual denominador, debemos sumar numerador con numerador y denominador con denominador. Verdadero o fals
Ahat [919]

Answer:

La respuesta es falso.  

Step-by-step explanation:

La respuesta es falso.  

Cuando se suman fraccciones con igual denominador, se suman los numeradores (numerador con numerador) y se deja el mismo denominador (el cual es común en ambos). Por ejemplo, la suma de 1/5 + 3/5 da como resultado:    

\frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1 + 3}{5} = \frac{4}{5}

En el caso de fracciones con diferentes denominadores, tampoco se suma numerador con numerador y denominador con denominador. En ese caso se debe encontrar el mínimo común múltiplo.

 

Por lo tanto, la respuesta es falso.

Espero que te sea de utilidad!
