sorry if its not the right problem
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a)
Lowell: 4 counselors
Fairview: 9 counselors
b)
2 new counselors
Step-by-step explanation:
How many counselors should be assigned to each school using Hamilton's method?
Number of students
Lowell: 3584
Fairview: 6816
Total number of students: 10400
Divisor D = (Total number of students)/(number of counselors)= 10400/13 = 800
<u>Temporal assignment</u>
3584/800 = 4 + 0.48 ==> 4 counselors for Lowell
6816/800 = 8 + 0.52 ==> 8 counselors for Fairview
There is one counselor left. According to Hamilton's method she should be assigned to the school with the largest remainder, that is Fairview.
<u>Final assignment</u>
Lowell: 4 counselors
Fairview: 9 counselors
The next year, a new school is opened, with 1824 students. Using the divisor from above, determine how many additional counselors should be hired for the new school
1824/800 = 2 + 0.28
<em>Two new counselors should be hired.</em>
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value means spaces away from zero. -3 is 3 spaces away and 3 is also 3 spaces away. Hope this helps!
Let c and n represent the numbers of pencil and pen boxes, respectively
.. 3c +2n = 6.00
.. 2c +4n = 8.00
You can halve the second equation and subtract it from the first to get
.. (3c +2n) -(c +2n) = 6.00 -4.00
.. 2c = 2.00
.. c = 1.00
Then
.. 1.00 +2n = 4.00 . . . . . half the original second equation with c filled n
.. 2n = 3.00
.. n = 1.50
A box of pencils costs $1.00; a box of pens costs $1.50.
The difference is 4hrs because 6-2 is 4
