Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The total number of students are: 24+26+21=71

He wants each team will have the same number of students between 5 and 9.

The number between 5 to 9 are 6, 7 and 8.

The number 71 is a prime number so we need to divide the 71 students in group so that minimum students left without team.

Dividing 6 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{6} = 11 teams and 5 students.

Dividing 7 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{7} = 10 teams and 1 students.

Dividing 8 students in each group.

Number of teams: \frac{71}{8} = 8 teams and 7 students.

Thus, we can not divide 71 students into equal teams, but 70 divided by 7 gives the least students left out i.e 10 teams each with 7 students and only 1 student will remain at last.

Beatriz is reading a book tgat has 530 pages. If she reads 10 pages a day, how many days will it take her to finish the book?
Art [367]
The equation you want to use is this:

10x = 530                             10 pages for x days

x = 530/10                            
530 pages divided by 10 pages

So the answer is,

53 days

I know 17. The formula for INTERIOR angles is 180(n-2) divided by n. therefore 180(6-2) / 6 = 180 x 4 / 6 = 720 / 6 = 120.

and EXTERIOR angles is 360 divided by n, therefore 360/6 = 60.

Last year, a women's professional organization made two small-business loans totaling $28,000 to young women beginning their own
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$7,000 at a rate of 7% and $21,000 at a rate of 14%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be amount invested at 7% and y be amount invested at 14%.

We have been given that a women's professional organization made two small-business loans totaling $28,000. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+y=28,000...(1)

The interest earned at 7% in one year would be 0.07x and interest earned at 14% in one year would be 0.14x.

We are also told that the organization received from these loans was $3,430. We can represent this information in an equation as:

0.07x+0.14y=3,430...(2)

Form equation (1), we will get:

x=28,000-y

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

0.07(28,000-y)+0.14y=3,430

1960-0.07y+0.14y=3,430

1960+0.07y=3,430

1960-1960+0.07y=3,430-1960

0.07y=1470

\frac{0.07y}{0.07}=\frac{1470}{0.07}

y=21,000

Therefore, an amount of $21,000 was invested at a rate of 14%.

x=28,000-y

x=28,000-21,000

x=7,000

Therefore, an amount of $7,000 was invested at a rate of 14%.
