Because the ratio of women to children is 10:1, double the ratio of men to women so the women are both 10:

Men to women becomes 8:10

Now total the 3 ratios: 8 for men, 10, for women and 9 for children:

8 + 10 + 9 = 27

Divide total people by that number:

270/27 = 10

Multiply 10 by each ratio:

Men = 8 * 10 = 80

Women = 10 * 10 = 100

Children = 9 *10 = 90



There is 80 men.

Answer:

There are 80 men on the train.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I just completed this question on MathsWatch so here is my explanation

Step 1:

The first thing you need to do is work out the ratio of men to women to children  on the train which is

8:10:9

Step 2:

8+10+9= 27

270÷27=10

Step 3:

We now know that 1 in the ratio is equal to 10 people.

To work out the amount of men we need to multiply 10 by 8

10×8=80

These means there is 80 men on the train

1. 12000(1 - n/5) = 2,400
     12000 - 2400n = 2400
      - 2400n + 12000 - 12000 = 2400 - 12000
      - 2400 = - 9600
             n = 4, After 4 years the scanner will be replaced.



2.  Let x represents Michael age in years now.
     
                            
                          Now           4years later  
                            
Michael                 x                 x + 4

      
John                      x - 17           (x - 17) + 4


                              x + 4 + x - 17 + 4 = 49
                               x + 4 + x - 13 = 49
                                2x - 9 = 49
                                 2x - 9 + 9 = 49 + 9
                                            2x = 58
                                     (1/2)(2x) = (1/2)(58)
                                                x = 29, Michaels age is 29


3. Brady speed 1   Rate(mph)       Time(hours)           Distance(miles)
                                17                     t                               17 t
     Brady speed 2    22                     4 - t                         22(4 - t)total distance

The total distance he rode  17t + 22(4 - t) = 70

The total distance = 70 miles


                                         showing work:  
                                           17t + 22(4 - t) = 70
                                            17t + 88 - 22t = 70
                                             - 5t + 88 = 70
                                              - 5t + 88 - 88 = 70 - 88
                                               - 5t  = - 18
                                                t = 3.6, Brady rode 17(mph) for 3.6(hrs).


4. t = the price of 1 shirt
     4t - 39.58 = 52.22
     4t - 39.58 = 52.22 + 39.58
      4t  + 0 = 91.80
    (1/4)(4t) = (1/4)(91.80)
               t = 22.95, price of 1 shirt was $22.95


5. Let M represent number of months.
      3.5m + 90 = 132
       3.5m + 90 - 90 = 132 - 90
        3.5m = 42
    (1/3.5)(3.5m) = (1/3.5)(42)
                      m = 12, the boy will grow 132cm tall, 12 months from now



6.   Let N represent given number
         n + 1/6n + (2 1/2)n + 7 = 12 1/2
          n ( 1 + 1/6 + 5/2) + 7  = 12 1/2
          n(6/6 + 1/6 + 15/6) + 7 = 12 1/2
           n(22/6 + 7 - 7 = 12 1/2
            11/3n + 7 - 7 = 12 1/2 - 7
              11/3n + 0 = 5 1/2
              11/3n = 5 1/2
               3/11.11/3 = 3/11.11/2
                 1n  = 3/2
                    n = 1 1/2, is the number


7. let X represents the first number, then 33 - x represents the other # since their sum is 33
     X - (33 - x) = 2
      X + ( - (33 - x)) = 2
      X + ( -33) + X = 2
       2x + (- 33) = 2
        2x + (- 33) + 33 = 2 + 33
        2x + 0 = 35
        1/2 * 2x = 1/2 * 35
         1x = 35/2
          x = 17 1/2

33 - x = 33 - (17 1/2) = 15 1/2
                     {17 1/2,  15 1/2}
                                 



8. Let T represents number of tokens in machine A. Then 1/2T represents the number of tokens in machine B, and 3/4T represents the number of tokens in machine C.

   T + 1/2T + 3/4T = 18,324
    9/4T = 18, 324
          T = 8, 144
Machine A took 8,144T, Machine B 4,072T, Machine C 6,108T



9.  Let Z represents the cost of a pencil in dollars. Then, the cost of a pen in dollars is Z + 0.11

   250(Z + Z + 0.11) = 42.5
    250(2Z + 0.11) = 42.5
    500Z + 27.5 = 42.5
    500Z + 27.5 + ( - 27.5) = 42.5 + ( -27.5)
     500Z + 0 = 15
     500Z = 15
      500Z/500 + 15/500
             Z = $0.03, a pencil costs, and  a pens cost $0.14


10. Let R represents speed in mph of faster car, Then r - 7 represents speed in mph of slow car.

 5 1/2(r) + 5 1/2(r - 7) = 599.5
  5 1/2(r + r - 7) = 599.5
 5 1/2(2r - 7) = 599.5
 11/2 (2r - 7) = 599.5
  2/11 * 11/2 (2r - 7) = 2/11 * 599.5
  1 * (2r - 7) = 1199/11
   2r - 7 = 109
   2r  - 7 + 7 = 109 + 7
   2r + 0 = 116
   2r = 116
 1/2 * 2r = 1/2 * 116
          1r = 58
             r =58

Faster car average speed is 58mph
Slower car average speed is 51mph

Distance = rate * time
 d = 51 * 5 1/2
  d = 51 * 11/2
   d = 280.5


Slower car travel 280.5 miles in 5 1/2hrs
d = 58 * 5 1/2
d = 58 * 11/2
d = 319           or  599.5 - 280.5 = 319


Faster car travel 319 miles in 5 1/2 hrs




The slower car travels 280.5 miles in 5 1/2hrs. remainder of trips for both vehicle is 38.5 miles, because, 319 - 280.5 = 38.5


distance = rate * time
38.5 = 51 (t)
1/51(38.5) = 1/51(51)(t)
38.5/51 = 1t
77/102 = t, This time is in hours. To convert to minutes, multiply by 60 minutes per hour
77/102 * 60 = 77/51 * 30 = 2310/51 = 45, The slower car will arrive at about 45 minutes after the first car.



Hope this helps!!!


Next time please ask for help in chunks!! Try for yourself.. this is a lot...

Water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level. Identif
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

Water pressure is the dependent quantity

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent quantity is a variable that can be changed in an experiment. While, dependent quantity results from the independent quantity or we can say, that depends upon the independent quantity.

Here,

The water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level,

So, for measuring the water pressure we took depth below sea level as a variable,

⇒ Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

While, with increasing depth by 1 foot the pressure is also increase by 0.44 pounds per square inches ⇒ pressure depends upon the depth

⇒ Water pressure is the dependent quantity.
