The three seventh grade classes at Champion Middle School collected the most boxtops for a school fundraiser, and so they won a

$600 prize to share among them. Ms. Winfrey’s class collected 3,760 box tops, Mrs.Collins collected 2,301, and Ms.Hood’s class collected 1,855. How should they divide the money so that each class gets the same fraction of the prize money as the fraction of the box tops that they collected?? HELP ASAP!

Answer:

Ms. Winfrey: $300

Mrs. Collins: $180

Ms. Hood: $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount of box tops that each class collected, you need to first find the total amount:

Ms. Winfrey:  3,760

Mrs. Collins: 2,301

Ms. Hood:  <u>1,855</u>

Total:  7,916

To find the approximate ratio, or fraction that each class sold, you can take the individual class amount divided by the total collected by all three classes:

Ms. Winfrey:  3,760/7,916 ≈ 0.5

Mrs. Collins: 2,301/7,916 ≈ 0.3

Ms. Hood:  1,855/7,916 ≈ 0.2

Take each of these rates and multiply by the amount of prize money:

0.5 * $600 = $300

0.3 * $600 = $180

0.2 * $600 = $120

If Shannon wants to fill a spherical balloon so that it has a circumference of 8π in, how much air will she need to use to fill
lapo4ka [179]

The Volume of air needed for a spherical balloon of radius 4 inch and circumference 8π is 85.3 cubic inch

<h3>Volume of Sphere</h3>

Given Data

  • Circumference = 8π

Let us find radius

circumference = 2πr

8π = 2πr

8 = 2r

r = 8/2

r = 4 inch

Let us find the volume of the sphere

Volume = 4/3πr^3

Volume = 4/3* π*4^3

Volume = 4/3*π64

Volume = 256π/3

Volume = 85.3 cubic inch

Find the x intercepts of f(x) = –16x^2 + 22x + 3
Helga [31]
That is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0

0=-16x^2+22x+3
we gon do grouping
ac method
-16 times 3=-48

what 2 numbers multiply to get -48 and add to get 22
-2 and 24
0=-16x^2-2x+24x+3
group
0=(-16x^2-2x)+(24x+3)
undistribute
0=-2x(8x+1)+3(8x+1)
undistribute
0=(8x+1)(-2x+3)
set eaqual to 0

8x+1=0
8x=-1
x=-1/8

-2x+3=0
3=2x
3/2=x

x intercepts ate x=-1/8 and x=3/2
