Answer:

<em>The Washington High School won the meet by scoring 162 points </em>

<em>The Johnson High School came in second place by scoring 159 points, 3 points less than the winner.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetics </u>

We need to perform a number of basic arithmetics operations and derive conclusions out of the results.

We know that

  • 10 points are awarded for each first-place finish
  • 8  points are awarded for each second-place finish
  • 7  points are awarded for each third-place finish

* Washington High School had 10 first-place finishes, 6 second-place finishes, and 2 third-place finishes.  

Total points: 10*10+6*8+2*7=162 total points

* Johnson High School had 8 first-place finishes, 9 second-place finishes, and 1 third-place finish.

Total points: 8*10+9*8+1*7=159 total points

* Roosevelt High School had 4 first-place finishes, 5 second-place finishes, and 4 third-place finishes.

Total points: 4*10+5*8+4*7=108 total points

* Lewis High School had 3 first-place finishes, 3 second-place finishes, and 6 third-place finishes.

Total points: 3*10+3*8+6*7=96 total points

The Washington High School won the meet by scoring 162 points

The Johnson High School came in second place by scoring 159 points, 3 points less than the winner.

3/5 +9/10= Please answer<br>​
Art [367]

Answer:

3/2 or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 3/5 by 2 to make the denominator of both fractions equal.

2 x 3/5 = 6/10

Now that the denominators are equal, add the two fractions together

6/10 + 9/10 = 15/10 = 3/2 or 1.5

Solve for y: 1.7-(3+2.4y) = 4(3y-2.91)
frez [133]
1.7-3-2.4y= 12y-11.64

-1.3-2.4y = 12y - 11.64

-2.4y = 12y - 11.64

-14.4y = -10.34

y= 10.34/14.4= 5.17/7.20 or 517/720
