Student to faculty is 17:3 The total is 740 how many students and faculty are at the college

2 answers:

7 0

Let the faculties be X and the number of students be Y.
X/Y = 17/3
3X= 17Y
X=17Y/3
Let that be equation 1
We also know that X+Y = 740. Let it be equation 2
Substitute equation 1 in equation 2
(17Y/3)+Y= 740
20Y/3 = 740
Y=111
Since the total is 740, then X equal 740-111 =629.
The number of faculties is 111 and the number of students is 629.

17+3 =20

so for every 20 people there are 17 students and 3 faculty

740/20 = 37

37*3 = 111 faculty

37 *17 = 629 students

The simplified expression

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

$5x^2 y^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the properties shown below to solve this:

1. $\sqrt[n]{x^a} =x^{\frac{a}{n}}$

2. $\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x} =x$

3. $\sqrt{x} \sqrt{y}=\sqrt{x*y}$

Area of a triangle is given by 1/2 * base * height, so we do that and simplify:

$A=\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5x^3} )(2\sqrt{5xy^4} )\\A=\frac{1}{2}(5x^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}*2*(5xy^4)^{\frac{1}{2}}\\A=\sqrt{5}x^{\frac{3}{2}}*\sqrt{5}\sqrt{x} } y^2\\A=\sqrt{5} \sqrt{5}x^{\frac{3}{2}} x^{\frac{1}{2}}y^2\\A=5*x^2y^2\\A=5x^2 y^2$
