Answer:

3 student.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first statement:

Let the total score be T

Let the total number of student be x

The average of the score = 72

Average = Tota score / number of student

72 = T/x

Cross multiply

T = 72x ..... (1)

Second statement:

One more student took the test and the average becomes 76 with the student having a score of 88.

Therefore,

Overall score = T + 88

Total student = x + 1

Average = 76

Average = overall score / total number of student

76 = (T + 88) /(x + 1)

Cross multiply

76(x + 1) = T + 88

Clear bracket

76x + 76 = T + 88

From equation 1

T = 72x

76x + 76 = 72x + 88

Collect like terms

76x – 72x = 88 – 76

4x = 12

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 4

x = 12/4

x = 3

Therefore, the initial number of the student were 3.

When we do this, the base of the parallelogram has length b 1 + b 2, and the height is the same as the trapezoids, so the area of the parallelogram is (b 1 + b 2)*h. Since the two trapezoids of the same size created this parallelogram, the area of one of those trapezoids is one half the area of the parallelogram

3.<br>What is the<br>distributive property<br>of<br>40 + 64?​
Ivan

Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not a distributive property question though.

A distributive property has a number (a) outside the parenthesis

a(b+c)

so in this case a(40+64)

then you would multiply a by both numbers

40a+64a

then add them together

104a

However if it is a number outside the parenthesis and not a variable, it will come out different

For example

5(40+64)

(5*40)+(5*64)

200+320

520

Hope this helps!

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be 2.43ft cubed. You first have to multiply 6 x 9 to get 54 and then Do 54 x 4.5 to get 243 ft cubed. Next you have to put it in fraction form 243/100. After that you have to divide 243 by hundred( you can do this by moving the decimal place two places to the left) and you get the answer 2.43 ft cubed
