I think 2 would be the answer!
Answer:
Van can carry 15 and bus 51 students
Explanation:
Let's mark the number of vans with x and number of buses with y.
That allows us to write equations:
1) 11x + 9y = 624 (high school A)
2) 5x + y = 126 (high school B)
This means that we have a system of the equations with two unknowns.
We can use x or y to solve this. Let's use x, but first we need to express y through x. We said that:
5x + y = 126
That means that:
y = 126 - 5x
Now, let's plug this in the equation 1):
11x + 9(126 -5x) = 624
11x + 1134 - 45x = 624
-34x = -510
34x = 510
x = 15
So, if x is 15, let's plug it in any of the two equations:
5x + y = 126
75 + y = 126
y = 51
So, a van carry 15 and a bus 51 students.
Answer:
A. The captain.
Explanation:
In Chapter XXVI of <em>Robinson Crusoe</em> by William Defoe, Robinson Crusoe saw a ship come towards his island and along with that, three captives being led to the island. On further investigation, he found out that the <em>"three prisoners"</em> were actually part of the ship's actual men, one of them being the captain of the ship. He even told Crusoe that he <em>"was commander of that ship, [his] men have mutinied against [him]"</em>.
So, the man <em>"with tears running down his face, and trembling" </em>was the captain of the ship. He told Crusoe how his men had mutinied against him and two of his men, and were now captives at the hands of the mutineers. Thus, the given passage or lines is a description of the captain who was happy and grateful to Crusoe for coming to their aid and saving their lives from the captors.
