Answer:

The total number of women (w)=800

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the total number of each group as follows;

Total number of people (p)=Number of Adults (a)+number of children (c)

2,500=a+c....equation 1

Number of Adults (a)=4×number of children (c)

a=4 c....equation 2

Replacing the value of a in equation 1 with the value for a in equation 2

2,500=4 c+c

5 c=2,500

c=2,500/5

c=500

Number of children (c)=500

Replace the value of c in equation 2 with 500 and solve

a=4×500

a=2,000

Number of adults (a)=2,000

But the total number of adults can be expressed as;

Total number of adults (a)=Total number of men (m)+total number of women (w)

a=m+w

where;

a=2,000

m=1,200

replacing;

2,000=1,200+w

w=2,000-1,200

w=800

The total number of women (w)=800

A triangle and a rectangle are shown below.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,

Applying,

lw = 5/2(bh)..................... Equation 1

Where l = length of the rectangle, w = width of the rectangle, b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle.

make w the subject of the equation

w = 5(bh)/2l............... Equation 2

From the diagram,

Given: l = 12 cm, b = 6 cm, h = 8 cm

Substitute into equation 2

w = 5(6×8)/(2×12)

w = 10 cm

Hence the width of the rectangle is 10 cm

A bag has 9 marbles: 4 are green, 2 are red, and 3 are blue. Melissa chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, ch
nika2105 [10]

Answer: pr (blue) = 1/3 or 0.33

Pr(green without replacement) = 1/2 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = number of possible outcomes/ number of total outcomes

Total number of outcomes is the sum of all the marbles, given as 9

Pr ( first marble blue) = no of blue marbles/ total number of marbles

= 3/9 = 1/3 or 0.333

Second marble is chosen without replacement- this means that the total outcome has reduced by 1, total number of marbles has reduced to 8 because there was no replacement.

Pr (second marble is green) = number of green marble/ total number of marbles without replacing the first marble

= 4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

I hope this helps.
