Answer:6 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
4 cans is not enough. he needs 6 and 1/4 cans.
584 is the total number of students in the school.
5/8 are in seventh grade and 3/8 are in eighth grade.
4/5 of the seventh graders participated in the track meet, so there were (4/5 · 5/8) · 584 students in the seventh grade participating in the track meet.
7/8 of the eighth graders participated, so there were (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 students in the eighth grade participating in the track meet.
So, all together, there were
(4/5 · 5/8) · 584 + (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 students from the school in the track meet.
Let's simplify as you asked:
(4/5 · 5/8) · 584 + (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 = [(4/5 · 5/8) + (7/8 · 3/8)] · 584 (distributive property - factoring)
= [20/40 + 21/64] · 584 (multiply fractions)
= (1/2 + 21/64) 584 (reduce the first fraction to lowest terms)
= (32/64 + 21/64) 584 (getting a common denominator)
= (53/64) 584 (combine/add the two fractions)
= 483.625 (multiply together)
All together, there were: 483.625 students in the meet.
3(x−5)/2=2(x+5)/3
Cross-multiply.
(3(x−5))/2=(2(x+5))/3
3(x−5)*(3)=2(x+5)*(2)
9x−45=4x+20
Subtract 4x from both sides.
9x−45−4x=4x+20−4x
5x−45=20
Add 45 to both sides.
5x−45+45=20+45
5x=65
Divide both sides by 5.
5x/5=65/5
x=13
Answer: 4.6 km
Step-by-step explanation:
a^1 + b^2 = c^2
2^2 + b^2 = 5^2
4 + b^2 = 25
b = sqrt 25 - 4
b = sqrt 21 = 4.6 km
