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

The graph of y = f(x) is shown.<br> a) Find f(0)<br> 4-<br> 3.<br> b) Give the roots of f(x) = 0
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

f(0) = 2

Roots are;

-2 and -1

Step-by-step explanation:

F(0) simply refers to the y-values when x = 0

This is the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis

the value here is 2

To

find the roots of f(x) , we simply find the points at which the plot crosses the x-axis

we have this at x = -2 and x = -1

These are what represents the roots of the equation

Simplify.<br> -5x^4(-3x^2+4x-2)
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

3x^6 - 4x^5 + 2x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-5x^4 ( -3x^2 + 4x - 2)

Step 1 : open the bracket with -5x^4

-5x^4 * -3x^2= 15x^6

Hint: - * - = +

x^4 * x ^2 = x^ 4+2 = x^6

-5x^4 * + 4x = - 20x^5

Hint: - * + = -

x^4 * x = x^4 + 1 = x^5

(x is always raise to the power of 1 but we don't write it or less it is greater than 1 e.g. 2 , 3 ,4, ..........)

-5x^4 * -2 = 10x^4

Hint: - *- = +

Let's combine the answers

15x^6 - 20x^5 + 10x^4

We can look for a factor that can go through as in that can divide all without a reminder

Factors of

15 - 3 * 5

1 * 15

20 - 4 *5

2 *10

1 * 20

10 - 2*5

1 * 10

Since the factor of 5 is common in all, so we are using 5 to divide through

15x^6 - 20x^5 + 10x^4

Using 5 to divide through

15x^6 / 5 - 20x^5 / 5 + 10x^4 / 5

= 3x^6 - 4x^5 + 2x^4

S2.256 T2.22 U2.099 V2.71
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

D) V, S, T, U

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the question is asking for the order from greatest to least.  In the case of decimals, I find it easier to compare by placing them in a line going down and filling in zeros where needed to make them the same place values:  

2.256 - S

2.220 - T

2.099 - U

2.710 - V

Since they all have the same first digit, I will look at the next digit following the decimal.  '7' is the greatest, then '25', then '22' then '09':

D) V, S, T, U
