What fraction of the students in the class named baseball their favorite sport

Mathematics
1 answer:
mojhsa [17]3 years ago
4 0

now, let's take a peek at the denominators, we have 3 and 8 and 12, we can get an LCD of 24 from that.

Let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 24, to do away with the denominators.

so, let's recall that a whole is "1", namely 500/500 = 1 = whole, or 5/5 = 1 = whole or 24/24 = 1 = whole.  So the whole class will yield a fraction of 1/1 or just 1.

\bf ~\hspace{7em}\stackrel{\textit{basketball}}{\cfrac{1}{3}}+\stackrel{\textit{soccer}}{\cfrac{1}{8}}+\stackrel{\textit{football}}{\cfrac{5}{12}}+\stackrel{\textit{baseball}}{x}~=~\stackrel{\textit{whole}}{1} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{24}}{24\left(\cfrac{1}{3}+\cfrac{1}{8}+\cfrac{5}{12}+x \right)=24(1)}\implies (8)1+(3)1+(2)5+(24)x=24 \\\\\\ 8+3+10+24x=24\implies 21+24x=24\implies 24x=3 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{3}{24}\implies x=\cfrac{1}{8}

The course for a boat race starts at point A and proceeds in the direction of S52'E for 1 hour at 8 knots to point B and then in
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

20.823 nautical miles

S20°E

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean ° (degrees), not ' (minutes).  There are 60 minutes in 1 degree.

S52°E means "south, 52° east", or 52° east of south.

S50°W means "south, 50° west", or 50° west of south.

1 knots = 1 nautical mile / hour, so the boat first travels 8 nautical miles from A to B, then 4.5 nautical miles from B to C, then finally back to A.

If we say A is at the origin, then the coordinates of B are:

(8 sin 52°, -8 cos 52°)

And the coordinates of C are:

(8 sin 52° − 4.5 sin 50°, -8 cos 52° − 4.5 cos 50°)

(2.857, -7.818)

So the distance from A to C is:

x = √(2.857² + (-7.818)²)

x ≈ 8.323

And the total distance of the race is:

d = 8 + 4.5 + 8.323

d = 20.823

The compass bearing from A to C is:

θ = atan(2.857 / 7.818)

θ ≈ S20°E
