So 51+51=102 and then 10+10+10+10=40, and 102+40=142. So they will need to take 2 buses and 4 vans.

Answer:  The answer is 2 buses and 4 vans.


Step-by-step explanation:  Let 'b' be the number of buses and 'v' be the number of vans that will be needed.

The trip will use 6 drivers, and we need one driver for each vehicle, so number of drivers is equal to the number of vehicles used.i.e.,

b+v=6.

Now, number of passengers in buses is 51b and number of passengers in vans is 10v. Since there are total 142 people, so

51b+10v=142.

Substituting the value of 'v' from forst equation in the second equation, we have

51b+10(6-b)=142\\\\\Rightarrow 51b+60-10b=142\\\\\Rightarrow 41b=82\\\\\Rightarrow b=2.

Again, from the first equation, we get

v=6-2=4.

Thus, there are 2 buses and 4 vans in the trip.

Which of the following sets would have a graph with an open circle on 2 and a ray pointing left on the number line?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

{x | x∈ R, x < 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Open circle on 2

Arrow pointing left

Required

Determine the inequality

An open circle on 2 means represents either < or >

The arrow points to the left of -2 means that the number line represents numbers less than 2. i.e. < 2

Represent the numbers with x.

The inequality is: x < -2

Using proper notation, the inequality is:  {x | x∈ R, x < 2}

sarita use 54 ounces of apples to make an apple pie how many pounds and ounces of apples did sarita use
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
One pound is 16oz. So you take 54 and minus it by 16 until you get something less that 16. Then you take how many times you subtracted it, and that is how many pounds. Then you take the "leftover" number and they you have your answer. 
so Sarita used 3 pounds and 8 oz.
