<span>With a boys to girls ratio of 8:7, this means 8/15 of the campers are boys and 7/15 of the campers are girls.

We are told that there are 195 total campers.

To find # of boys: 195 (the total # of campers) x 8/15 (fraction of the campers that are boys) = 104  boys

To find # of girls: 195 (total # of campers) x 7/15 (fraction of the campers that are girls) = 91 girls

Note: If you do not know how to multiply by fractions, let me know, I have another trick that takes more time but doesn't require the use of fractions.

A movie theater charges $5 for an adult ticket and $2 for a child's ticket. One Saturday, the theater sold 785 tickets for $3280
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

5x + 2y = 3280

x+y = 785

x = 785 - y

5*(785 - y) + 2y = 3280

3925 - 5y + 2y = 3280

3925 - 3280 - 3y = 0

645 = 3y

y=645/3=215

x=785-215 = 570

Adults - 570 tickets, childs - 215 tickets.

570*5 + 215*2 = 3280

570 adult and 215 child and 3,280 in total

if i could get brainliest that would be great

Answer:

D. y = { -x + 2 x ≥ 1}

          { x + 1  x < 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

First is to eliminate A and C, why?

This is because of the end points shown on the graph.

As shown, if you look at the point of (2,1) it is black, this means that not only is it closed but it is also means ≤ or ≥ symbol.

You are now left with B and D

The difference between these two is the symbols; they are facing the opposite directions.

While B says x ≤ 1, and x > 1

While D says x ≥ 1, and x < 1

The direction of the symbols depends on the direction of the lines and what is part of it (some what like a shaded area)

So you answer would be D
