1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE 5/24's PLEASE???

Which pair of angles are supplementary?
Lina20 [59]

Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180 degrees, aka one straight line. The supplementary angles here are:

1 and 2, 1 and 3, 2 and 4, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 6 and 8, 7 and 8, and 6 and 7. Well, those are the more obvious ones. 1 and 7 are supplementary because if you envision them next to each other, you’ll see that they create a straight line. So, with that logic, 3 and 5 are supplementary because when you put them together, they create a straight line

C is the answer.
in the original function, when x=0, y=-1
in the new function, to make y=-1, x+3=0, x=-3. From the original 0 to -3 is a shift of 3 units to the left.
