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

Solve the simultaneous equations using an algebraic method.<br> x + 2y = 13<br> 3x + y = 24
Firlakuza [10]
X=7, y=3
because it is an algebraic method you have to solve for an x or y in either equation, and then plug that into the other equation. it’s helpful for these problems to check your work and plug the numbers back into the equations and the end for future reference !

An account earns simple interest.<br><br> $5200 at 7.36% for 54 months
vovikov84 [41]
A = P(1 +rt)  where A is the total amount(principal and interest), r is the rate, and t is the time invested.

A = 5200[1 + .0736(4.5)]
A = 6922.24

note we had to change the rate to a decimal by dividing by 100 
Also 54 months is equal to 4.5 years...you enter time in years.

the price for dinner in a resteraunt was $80. The customer paid an addition 7% meals tax and left a $15 tip. how much meals tax
Marrrta [24]
Multiply the price of the meal by the sales tax. Tips are added in after tax has been applied, so it would not be added in to calculate the tax.

Tax= Meal Cost * Tax %

=$80 * 7%
convert % to decimal (7% ÷ 100)

=80 * 0.07

=$5.60 sales tax paid


ANSWER: $5.60 was the sales tax the customer paid.

From his eye, which stands 1.59 meters above the ground, Francisco measures the
viva [34]

The height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.

<h3>How to determine the height</h3>

From the information given, we have:

  • angle of elevation = 32°
  • length of the base, adjacent side = 376 meters
  • height of the skyscraper, opposite side = x meters

To determine the height of the elevator, let's use the tangent identity

We have that;

tan θ = opposite/ adjacent

The value of the opposite side is 'x' which is the height of the skyscraper and the value of the adjacent side is 376 meters which is the length of the base of the skyscraper

Now, substitute the values, we have;

tan 32 = x/ 376

cross multiply

x = tan 32 × 376

x = 0. 6249 × 376

x = 234. 95 meters

We know that the 'x' represents the opposite side and thus the height of the skyscraper

Thus, the height of the skyscraper to the nearest tenth is 234. 95 meters.
