Answer:

112 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of students in the band.

From the question,

We were told that 37.5% of the total owns their individual instruments and this amount to 42 students

The total number of students can calculated for as follows:

37.5% x T = 42

37.5/100 x T = 42

Cross multiply to express in linear form

37.5 x T = 100 x 42

Divide both side by 37.5

T = (100 x 42) /37.5

T = 112

Therefore, there are 112 students in the band

The measure of one acute angle is 3 times the sum of the measure of the other acute angle and 8
Anettt [7]
Let x be the unknown angle. 

Make an equation using the formula.

<span>"measure of one acute angle is 3 times" Since we know that x is the one acute angle, we can multiply that by 3 to get 3x.

"</span><span>the sum of" when ever you see the word 'sum' it means that there will be an addition process involved and in this case it also means that 3x will equal to the rest of the equation. (3x=)
</span>
<span>"measure of the other acute angle and 8" We already know that the other angle is x . Since there is no other indicator of the 8 being subtracted, multiplied, and divided and that we know this is an addition problem, we can conclude that 8 will be added to the other angle. (x+8)
</span>
So, now we have the equation and all we have to do is simplify it. 

3x= x+8
-x   -x             *Move constants and variables to opposite sides*
------------
2x=8
---  ---             *Divide by 2 to isolate the variable* 
2    2

x=4

So, I'm assuming you want to know the measure of both angles. All you have to do is plug in the x in the 3x and x+8 depending on which angle you want.

3x
3(4)=12
The measure of the first angle is 12.

x+8
4+8= 12
The measure of the second angle is also 12.

Determine which of the following passages are arguments. For those that are, identify the conclusion. For those that are not, de
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Non Arguement passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage given is a non arguement passage , the passage is more of a report especially the introductory part where the author said ''Since the 1950s a malady called whirling disease has invaded U.S. fishing streams, frequently attacking rainbow trout.'' this highlighted phrase is a report gathered or investigated by the author which was gotten as a result of his own personal findings or from history. For an argument passage, the introductory part will have portrayed what the author implied, there will be an indication of the authors stance or favoured opinion which of course will be backed by evidence from his or her findings. as such, there is nothing of such which may serve as a precursor to indicate or informed us if the passage is that of an arguement. Again, the passage is a report and not an argument. as nothing can be inferred from the paragraph to point to us if it is an argument passage.

However, there is a conclusion in the passage and conclusions has arrived by the author must have been from a detailed findings and research, if possible an experimental study before a conclusion can be reached as the last line of the paragraph says ''A parasite deforms young fish, which often chase their tails before dying, hence the name.'' The conclusion is that parasite are known to cause deformation in young fish.
