Answer:
8(15-m)
Step-by-step explanation:
By looking at the options, we can understand that the right one is 8(15-m), since we need to multiply the time by the number of question.
Also, we can check that result by arranging an equations usint the total time.
55 = 3m - 8(15-m)
55 = 3m - 120 + 8m
55 = 11m - 120
55 + 120 = 11m
175 = 11m
m = 175/11 = 15.91
55 = 3*15.91 - 8(15-15.91) = 47.73 - 120 + 127.28 = 55.01 ≈ 55
The ratio of length to width would change slightly, before adding on to the dimensions, the ratio is 6 : 2.5 with the added dimensions, the ratio would change to 8 : 4.5 with simple math you can see that 2.5 is less then half of 6 while 4.5 is more then half of 8
(x cookies) / (23 students - (12/2) students) = 2 cookies per student
[x / (23 - 6)] cookies per student = 2 cookies per student
23 students * (2 cookies per students) - 12 cookies = x cookies
The "students" unit cancels
46 cookies - 12 cookies = x cookies
x cookies = 34 cookies
Answer:
To find out the number coming from each school, you need to use the proportion of the school's population out of the population of all three.
Total population = 618 + 378 + 204
= 1,200 students
North Middle school:
= 618/1,200 * 20
= 10 students
Central Middle School:
= 378 / 1,200 * 20
= 6 students
South Middle School:
= 204/1,200 * 20
= 4 students
