The morning announcements said that two out of every seven sixth-grade students in the school have an overdue library book. Jasm

ine said, "That would mean 24 of us have overdue books!" Grace argued, "No way. That is way too high." How can you determine who is right?

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

Wha is the area of this
Korvikt [17]

Octagon, stop sign.

Eight isoscles triangles.   It looks like we're told the side is 9.9 and the height to the side (also called the apothem) is 12.

So each isosceles triangle has area  (1/2)(9.9)(12) and we have eight of them,

area = 8(1/2)(9.9)(12) = 475.2

Answer: 475.2

Usually we wouldn't be told 9.9 -- this is the baby version.  We know each of those isoscles triangles has unique angle 360/8=45 degrees, so the apothem and half the side of the octagon are a right triangle with acute angle 22.5 degrees.

The area of the right triangle with long leg 12, short leg x,

tan 22.5 = x/12 or

x = 12 tan 22.5

Twice that is what we're told is 9.9; let's check:

2x = 24 tan 22.5 = 9.941125496954282

The area of the little right triangle is

(1/2) 12 × 12 tan 22.5

and there are 16 of these

16 (1/2) 12 × 12 tan 22.5 ≈ 477.174

What's 18➗4.52? Plz help
xz_007 [3.2K]
If you want to calculate 18/4.52, you can do this using the following steps:

18/4.52 = 18 / 4 52/100 = 18 / 452/100 = 18 * 100/452 = 1800/452 = 450/113 = 3.98

The correct result is 3.98.

What is the value of E?
kozerog [31]
Hello!

∠E and the angle measuring 119 degrees (we'll refer to this as ∠A) can be classified as supplementary angles. Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add to a sum of 180 degrees (a straight line). Therefore, we can conclude that sum of ∠E and ∠A is 180 degrees. We can use this information to create the following equation:

∠E + 119 = 180

Now subtract 119 from both sides of the equation:

∠E = 61

We have now proven that ∠E is equal to 61 degrees.

I hope this helps!
