Given:
child = 2 forks
adult = 5 forks
total number of forks = 2992
total number of people = 764

c + a = 764
2c + 5a = 2992

find the value of c using the 1st equation.

c = 764 - a

substitute c in the 2nd equation by its value

2c + 5a = 2992
2(764-a) + 5a = 2992

1528 - 2a + 5a = 2992
1528 + 3a = 2992
3a = 2992 - 1528
3a = 1464
3a/3 = 1464/3
a = 488

c = 764 - a
c = 764 - 488
c = 276

child = 276 ; adult = 488

2c + 5a = 2992
2(276) + 5(488) = 2992
552 + 2440 = 2992
2992 = 2992

One angle of a triangle measures 65°. The other two angles are in a ratio of 3:20. What are the measures of those two angles?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

15° and 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

65 + 3x + 20x = 180

23x = 115

x = 5

3 × 5 = 15, 20 × 5 = 100. So the other two angles measure 15° and 100°.

Team infinite dimensions canoed 15 3/4 miles in 3 hours. what was their average rate of speed in miles per hour?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Miles per hour

(15 and 3/4) miles per 3 hours

remember that
(a+b)/c=(a/c)+(b/c)
and
a and c/d=a+c/d

so

(15 and 3/4)/3=(15/3)+(3/4)/3
remember that dividing by a number is like multiplying by a fraction
15/3=5
(3/4)/3=(3/4) times (1/3)=3/12=1/4

(15/3)+(3/4)/3=5+1/4=5 and 1/4

answer is 5 and 1/4 miles per hour

IF YOU HELP ME ILL WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIST AND 50 PONITS HELP ME PLZZZZZ
labwork [276]
I think the answer is A because the data is skewed to the right 
The median (middle) isn't 10, it's 8 
The interquartile range (IQR) is 7 not 6 because you have to subtract the first and third quartile 13 - 6 = 7 not 6

Hope this helps! ;)
