Complete question is;

In a class of 40 students, 17 have ridden an airplane, 28 have ridden boat, 10 have ridden a train, 12 have ridden an airplane and a boat, 3 have ridden a train only, and 4 have ridden airplane only. Some students in the class have not ridden any of the three modes of transportation and an equal number have taken all three. How many students have used all three modes of transportation?

Answer:

4 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students who used airplane be A

Let the number of students who used boat be B

Let the number of students who used train be C

Now, we are told that 17 rode plane.

Thus; A = 17

28 rode boat; B = 28

10 rode train; C = 10

12 rode airplane and boat; A ∩ B = 12

4 rode plane only; A' = 4

3 rode boat only; C' = 3

Total number of students; T = 40

Now, total number of students is represented by;

T = A - B - C - (A ∩ B) - (B ∩ C) - (C ∩ A) + (A ∩ B ∩ C)

We don't have (B ∩ C) and (C ∩ A).

Now, the can be derived from the expression of C' which is;

C' = C - (B ∩ C) - (C ∩ A)

C' = C - [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)]

We are given C' = 3 and C = 10

Thus;

3 = 10 - [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)]

10 - 3 = [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)]

7 = [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)]

Rearranging the total number of students equation, we now have;

T = A - B - C - (A ∩ B) - [(B ∩ C) + (C ∩ A)] + (A ∩ B ∩ C)

Where;

(A ∩ B ∩ C) is the number of students that used all three modes of transportation.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

40 = 17 + 28 + 10 - 12 - 7 + (A ∩ B ∩ C)

40 = 36 + (A ∩ B ∩ C)

(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 40 - 36

(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 4

A carpenter has a piece of wood that is 78 inches long. He wants to cut it so that one piece is five times as long as the other
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

13 and 65

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5x = 78

(because u want a piece (x) and a piece that's five times longer than x- so 5x. and they should come from a 78 inch piece)

6x = 78

x = 78 / 6

x= 13

(to counter check:  13 * 5 = 65.  

                               65 + 13 = 78  )

Answer: 32.14   after round off it will be 32

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how to round 32.14 to the nearest whole number. In other words, this is how to round 32.14 to the nearest integer.

32.14 has two parts. The integer part to the left of the decimal point and the fractional part to the right of the decimal point:

Integer Part: 32

Fractional Part: 14

 

Our goal is to round it so we only have an integer part using the following rules:

If the first digit in the fractional part of 32.14 is less than 5 then we simply remove the fractional part to get the answer.

If the first digit in the fractional part of 32.14 is 5 or above, then we add 1 to the integer part and remove the fractional part to get the answer.

The first digit in the fractional part is 1 and 1 is less than 5. Therefore, we simply remove the fractional part to get 32.14 rounded to the nearest whole number as:

32

Determine the point on the graph of the linear equation 2x + 5y = 19, whose ordinate is 1 1/2 times its abscissa.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

(2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 19

5y = -2x + 19

y = -\frac{2}{5} x + \frac{19}{5}

P(abscissa, ordinate)

P(x, 1.5x)

P(2, 3)

3 = -\frac{2}{5} (2) + \frac{19}{5}

3 = -\frac{4}{5} + \frac{19}{5}

3 = 15/5

3 = 3

Jesse has two packages of 36TACKS and 16 TACKS. How many garage sale posters can she put up if she uses 4TACKS for each poster?
hodyreva [135]

Answer: 21 posters or 13 posters, please read the explanation since your wording was confusing.


Step-by-step explanation: Okay if you have two packs of 36 and 16 which is 104, you divide by 4 tacks. You end up getting 21 posters.


If you mean there are only 36 and 16 you get 52 and divide by 4. You end up having 13 posters.
