Answer:

4951 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If there was 99 students from each state, that would make the total to be:

99 * 50 = 4950

We can use the pigeon hole principle to make this the minimum number required.

The pigeon hole principle basically tells us that if you have more "pigeons" than "holes" then there must be one hole with multiple objects in it.

So, using this idea, we see that:

we need at least 1 more to ensure this

So, min number required would be

4950 + 1 = 4951

Ne4ueva [31]
First you cancel 7 and 28, and 3 and 9, so that leaves you with 4/3 x 15/17, then you cancel 3 and 15 so you get 4x5/17 which should give you 20/17!

Reason abstractly. Are all horizontal lines parallel? Use slope<br> explain how you know.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

All horizontal lines are NOT parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

We learned that lines go on forever.  

If one line is slightly slanted, and the other line is completely straight,  these lines are not parallel, as they will meet at some point.

Hope this helped :)
