There are 3 students to 1 adult on a field trip. You need to find the number of adults needed for 24 students. What would the se

cond ratio of the proportion look like if the first proportion is as follows: (s is just short for students, and a is just short for adult cause it would make the fraction look weird if I didn't use letters). 30 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(A) 3s/s

(B) 3/1

(C) 24s/x

(D) 1/3

(E) x/24s

Answer:

a = 24*1/3

a =8  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults

students         3                   24

--------------- = ---------------  = -------------

adults                 1                   a

where a is the unknown number of adults

Using cross products

3a=24*1

Divide by 3

a = 24*1/3

a = 24/3

a = 8

Someone help me with this !!!
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

150°

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the individual angle of a REGULAR dodecagon (which means that all sides are equal), you'd use the equation I(individual angle)= (n-2)×180/n

N is number of sides. The number of sides on a dodecagon is 12. So, substitute N for 12

I= (12-2)×180/12 which simplifies to 10×180/12

10×180= 1800

1800/12 = 150

so, an individual interior angle of a dodecagon is 150°

Evaluate -3x^2-4x=-1
Butoxors [25]
Use the Quadratic formula, 

x= -b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)
     -------------------------
                2a

x= 4 +/- sqrt(16+12)
     ----------------------
              -6

x = 4+/- sqrt(28)
      ---------------
            -6

x = 4 +/- 2*sqrt(7)
      ------------------
              -6

x= 2(2+/- sqrt(7))
     ------------------
            2(-3)


x= 2+/- sqrt(7)
     --------------
           -3
