Of the total number of spectators at a circus show, 1/4 are men. 2/5 of the remaining number of spectators are women. There are

ch4aika [34]

Answer: There are $198$ children at the circus show.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the total number of spectators at the circus show and "c" the number of children at the circus show.

Knowing that $\frac{1}{4}$ of the spectators are men, we can find the remaining:

$x-\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{3}{4}x$

Since $\frac{2}{5}$ of the remaining number of spectaros are women and there are a total of 132 women, we can write the following equation:

$(\frac{2}{5})(\frac{3}{4}x)=132$

Solving for "x", we get:

$x=(132)(\frac{20}{6})\\\\x=440$

Therefore, we get that "c" is:

$c=440-\frac{1}{4}(440)-132\\\\c=198$

Jack is getting balloons for his uncle's birthday party. He wants each balloon string to be 6 feet long. At the party store, str

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

110 yards of string

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting the feet of the string of 1 balloon to yard

1 foot = 1/3 yard

6 feet = x

x = 6 × 1/3 yard

x = 2 yard

Hence 1 balloon uses 2 yard of string

Since:

1 balloon = 2 yard of string

55 ballons = x

x = 55 × 2 yard of string

x = 110 yards of string

Hence, for 55 balloons he would need 110 yards of string.

When a figure is translated, what is true, compared to the preimage of the figure

Charra [1.4K]

When you translate something in geometry, you're simply moving it around. You don't distort it in any way. If you translate a segment, it remains a segment, and its length doesn't change. Similarly, if you translate an angle, the measure of the angle doesn't change.
