Answer:

Seven  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let G7, G8, and G9 be the numbers of students in the respective grades.

Then, G7 + G8 + G9 = LCM of G8 and G9

<em>Data: </em>

G8 = 5

G9 = 3

<em>Calculations: </em>

<em>Multiples of 5</em>: 1 2          10 15

<em>Multiples of 3</em>: 1   3 6 9       15

The <em>LCM</em> of 5 and 3 is 15.

G7 + 5 + 3 = 15     Combine like terms

     G7 + 8 = 15     Subtract 8 from each side

           G7 = 7

There are seven students in Grade 7.

What is the equation of the line in point-slope form that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (5, 9)?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

y-9=-3(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is given as

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Here m=-3 and (x1, y1)=(5, 9)

Therefore,

y-9=-3(x-5)

A long distance runner starts at the beginning of a trail and runs at a rate of 4 miles per hour. two hours later, a cyclist sta
valina [46]

To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let us say that:

A = runner

B = cyclist

d = distance

v = velocity

time = t

 

The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:

dA = dB

 

We know that the formula for calculating distance is:

d = v t

therefore,

vA tA = vB tB

 

Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:

vA (tB + 2) = vB tB

4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB

4 tB + 8 = 14 tB

10 tB = 8

tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min

 

Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8 hours or 48 minutes.

Geoff wants to purchase a circular area rug for his room, but he can't decide between the small size and the large size. A small
salantis [7]

Answer: The larger rug is 4 times larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area = πr²

Where

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

The small circular rug covers an area of approximately 67 square feet. This means that

67 = πr²

r² = 67/π = 67/3.14 = 21.34

r = √21.34 = 4.62

If a large size rug has twice the dimensions of a small rug, it means that the radius of the larger rug would be

2 × 4.62 = 9.24

The area of the larger rug would be

3.14 × 9.24² = 268.06ft²

Therefore

268.06/67 = 4

The larger rug is 4 times larger
