Answer:

We need to know how many students are in sixth grade and compare the real number with the 84 sixth graders that Jasmine claims to be.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would need to know how many students are in sixth grade to determine who is right. If two students out of seven have an overdue library book and grace claims that 24 of them are overdue by that means, what we would need to do is divide the allegedly 24 students between 2. Now we have 12 pairs of students that have overdue books. For every pair of students in sixth grade that have overdue books, seven students don’t have overdue books, so now we multiply 12 pairs of students with overdue books times 7 students who don’t have overdue books. By Jasmine calculation then, sixth grade have 84 students.  

If sixth grade have indeed 84 students, Jasmine is right. If there are not 84 students in sixth grade, she is wrong. Grace is right if there are fewer students than 84 in sixth grade.

Have a nice day! :D

Two trapezoids below are similar what is the length of RS?
stepladder [879]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  11.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that the figures are similar means the side lengths are proportional:

  RS/QT = BC/AD

  RS/(7 m) = (2.3 m)/(1.4 m)

  RS = (7 m)(2.3/1.4) . . . . . . multiply by 7 m

  RS = 11.5 m

He gets $200 for showing up and gets paid $15 an hour write a linear equation to represent his earnings
Dmitry [639]

Let H = number of hours worked.

He gets $15 for every hour worked, so you need to multiply 15 by h which is written as 15h

You then need to add that to the $200 he gets for showing up.

Total pay = 15h + 200
