The school band is comprised of middle school students and high school students, but it always has the same maximum capacity. La

st year the ratio of the number of middle school students to the number of high school students was 1:8. However, this year the ratio of the number of middle school students to the number of high school students changed to 2:7. If there are 18 middle school students in the band this year, how many fewer high school students are in the band this year compared to last year?

> Last year the ratio of the number of middle school students
> to the number of high school students was 1:8.
1/9 x + 8/9 x = makeup of middle and high school students

> this year the ratio ... changed to 2:7
2/9 x + 7/9 x = x (again)

> there are 18 middle school students in the band this year
2/9 x = 18
2x = 9 * 18 → x = 81

Total = 81 in band ...
Last year:
1/9 and 8/9 = 9 and 72
This year
2/9 and 7/9 = 18 and 63

And from there you can figure out the changes:
+9 for middle school (which is increase from 1/9 to 2/9)
--9 for high school (which is decrease from 8/9 to 7/9)

Answer:

The time at which the two trains will meet is 1 hour and 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances between the two trains = 196 miles

The direction of the two trains = Towards each other

The speed of one of the trains = 80 miles per hour

The speed of the other train = 60 miles per hour

Let 't' represent the time at which the two trains meet, we have;

80·t + 60·t = 196

∴ 140·t = 196

t = 196/140 = 7/5

The time at which the two trains will meet, t = 7/5 hours = 1.4 hours = 1 hour, 24 minutes.

<u>Picture 1:</u>

To figure this out, notice the pattern happening on x. It's simply counting to four, so the first blank is 1 and the next is 2.

The y coordinates seem to be going up by 9. 27 plus 9 is 36, so the answer to the fourth box is 36.

Another way to see how this is correct is to notice that the x is multiplying by 9 to get y. It works out as you look at it and plug it in!

<u>Picture 2:</u>

Yes, this is a proportional relationship. Since Dennis is adding 3 logs every hour, it is keeping a consistent pattern.

<u>Picture 3:</u>

If Jane is driving 60 miles per hour, the first hour she would've gone 60 miles. After a second hour, she would've gone 120 miles. Multiply 60 to your x coordinates to figure this out. You should get 60, 120, 180, and 240 for each box.
