127 children and 264 adults swam at the public pool that day

Step-by-step explanation:

On a certain hot​ summer's day

  • 391 people used the public swimming pool
  • The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.25 for adults
  • The receipts for admission totaled $752.75

We need to find how many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that​ day

Assume that the number of children is x and the number of adult is y in that day

∵ x children swam that day

∵ y adults swam that day

∵ 391 people used the swimming pool that day

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 391

∴ x + y = 391 ⇒ (1)

∵ The daily price for children is $1.25 per child

∵ The daily price for an adult is $2.25

∵ The receipts for admission totaled $752.75

- Multiply x by 1.25 and y by 2.25, then add the products and

  equate the sum by 752.75

∴ 1.25x + 2.25y = 752.75

- Divide each term by 1.25 to simplify the equation

∴ x + 1.8y = 602.2 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to eliminate x

∵ (x - x) + (1.8y - y) = 602.2 - 391

∴ 0.8y = 211.2

- Divide both sides by 0.8

∴ y = 264

- Substitute the value of y in equation (1) to find x

∵ x + 264 = 391

- Subtract 264 from both sides

∴ x = 127

127 children and 264 adults swam at the public pool that day

A builder makes drainpipes that drop 1cm over a horizontal distance of 30cm to prevent clogs. A certain drainpipe needs to cover
Ann [662]

Answer:

700.39cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a horizontal distance of 30cm, the drop is 1cm, now we need to get the drop for horizontal distance of 700 cm to maintain the same slope

Using the concept of cross multiplication

30cm=1 cm drop

700 cm=x

30x=700

X=700/30=70/3=23 ⅓

Utilizing pythagoras theorem, the length of pipe will be

L=√(23⅓)²+700²

L=700.38878092417 cm

Rounded off, the length is approximately 700.39 cm

Suppose a deep sea driver dives from the surface to 248 feet below the surface. He then dives down 10 more feet. Use integers yo
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Initial dive: - 248 (below the surface which represents '0')

Second dive: -10

Present depth -248 + -10 = -258 feet below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use negative integers to represent real-world scenarios such as in elevation and descent, bank account balances and temperatures.  In this case, because a diver is descending below the surface of the water, the surface of the water represents the '0' and going down into the water would be negative integers.  So, his initial dive is 248 down, or negative 248 (-248), he then dives down an additional 10 feet, or negative 10 (-10).  Since the second dive is in addition to his initial dive, we add the two integers together:

-248 + -10 = -258 feet
