Answer: 36 Students picked football

Step-by-step explanation: When calculating values by the use of given ratios, it is important to note that the ratio of one value as compared to the other is the same as the actual value compared to the other.

The ratio of students who picked rugby and tennis is given as ratio 9 : 19, which means for every 28 students (that was derived by 9 + 19), 9 would choose rugby and 19 would choose tennis. However, we have been given the total number of students who chose tennis as 57, hence the value 57 would now replace the ratio of 19. However the total number of those who chose rugby is not yet known, so we can write out an equation as shown below;

19/28 = t/x

Where t is the number of tennis players as represented by ratio 19 and x is the total number of both tennis and rugby players as represented by 28.

By cross multiplication we now have

19 * x = 28 * 57

x = (28 * 57)/19

x = 1596/19

x = 84

If a total of 84 students play both rugby and tennis, and 57 of them play only tennis, then the number of rugby players is derived as

r = x - t

r = 84 - 57

r = 27

Having determined that 27 students played rugby, and the ratio of football to rugby players is given as 4 : 3, the relationship can be mathematically represented as follows;

3/7 = r/y

Where r is the total number of rugby players and y is the total number of both football and rugby players

3/7 = 27/y

By cross multiplication you now have

3 * y = 7 * 27

y = (7 * 27)/3

y = 189/3

y = 63

If the total number of football and rugby players is 63 and out of these 27 play rugby only, then the number of football players is derived as;

f = y - r

f = 63 - 27

f = 36

Therefore the number of students who chose football is 36

Hello does anyone know how to solve this?
Radda [10]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:    2 ^ -4  ( = 1/16)

Discussion:

- 4 log {8} 2            {8} is used instead of subscript notation


Basic property of logarithms is that exponents become multipliers and vice versa:


-4 log {8} 2 =  log {8}   (2^ -4)



Thank you,

MrB

Alex bought 2 printer cartridges for $28 each and a printer for $85. He gave the cashier $150. How much change should Alex have
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$9 in change

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total cost of his purchases:

28 + 28 + 85

= 141

Find how much change he received by subtracting this from 150:

150 - 141

= 9

So, he should have received $9 in change
