Answer:

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define:

c: children attendance

s: students attendance

a: adult attendance

The equation that describes the total ticket sales is:

5c+7s+12a=2808

We also know that the children attendance doubles the adult attendance:

c=2a

The third equation is the seating capacity, which we assume is full:

c+s+a=387

We start by replacing variables in two of the equations:

c=2a\\\\s=387-c-a=387-2a-a=387-3a

Then, we solve the remaining equation for a:

5c+7s+12a=2808\\\\5(2a)+7(387-3a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+(2709-21a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+12a-21a=2808-2709\\\\a=99

Then, we solve for the other two equations:

c=2a=2*99=198\\\\s=387-3a=387-3*99=387-297=90

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

Write 3/5 as a division
ollegr [7]

Answer:

3/5 as a division is 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a fraction as a division, we basically divide the values, since the fraction represents a division.

In this question:

We want 3 divided by 5.

3 is less than 5, so we can multiply 3 by 10(getting 30), and adding a 0 to the quotient.

So now 0.(30/5) = 0.6, which means that 3/5 as a division is 0.6.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

D, (1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

It all comes down to substitution. In this case the coefficient of x is 3 and the coefficient of y is 4. The format of these coordinates being (x,y).

1. Plug in your x value (1 in this circumstance) and solve:

3(1) + 4y < 12

3 + 4y < 12

2. Plug in your y value (2 in this circumstance) and solve:

3 + 4(2) < 12

3 + 8 < 12

3. Solve

3 + 8 = 11

11 < 12
