Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{161}}$

Explanation:

Let's put the information in a table step-by step.

(number of remaining students)

Juniors Seniors

Condition

Initially J S

15 seniors left S - 15

Twice juniors as seniors 2(S - 15)

3/4 of the juniors left 1/4×2(S - 15)
1/3 of seniors left 2/3×(S - 15)

At the end, there were 8 more seniors than juniors:

2/3×(S - 15) - 1/4×2(S - 15) = 8

Now you have obtained one equation, which you can solve to find S, the number of senior students, and then the number of junior students.

Solve the equation:

$2/3\times (S - 15) - 1/4\times 2(S - 15) = 8$

Mutilply all by 12:

$8(S - 15)-6(S - 15)=96$

Distribution property:

$8S-120-6S-90=96$

Addtion property of equalities:

$8S-6S=96+120+90$

Add like terms:

$2S=306$

Division property of equalities:

$S=306/2=153$

That is the number of senior students that came out to the information meeting, but the number of students remaining to perform in the school musical is (from the table above):

$2/3\times (S-15)+1/4\times 2(S-15)$

Just substitute S with 153 fo find the number of students that remained to perfom in the musical:

$2/3\times (153-15)+1/4\times 2(153-15)\\ \\ 2/3(138)+1/2(138)$

$161$

PLEASE HELP I ONLY HAVE 10 MINS!!

lbvjy [14]

The answer to both equations is 'A'. For the first you just input the value of 20 to replace n and get 700. (Side-note: the number 20, which is your variable, should be nowhere in the function so you know b is wrong). so now that you have your answer 700 the second part is self explanatory.

A straight angle is split in the ratio 3:1:4. Find the measure of each angle.

lozanna [386]

Answer: The angles are 67.5°, 22.5° and 90°.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be noted that a straight angle is always equal to 180°.

The straight angle is split in the ratio 3:1:4.

The measure of each angle will be:

a. = 3/(3+1+4) × 180°

= 3/8 × 180°

= 67.5°

b. 1/8 × 180° = 22.5°

c. 4/8 × 180° = 90°

The angles are 67.5°, 22.5° and 90°.
