Answer:

91

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the important information we get from this is that the stage can support 12,750 students. We are asked, if the average weight of a student is 140 pounds, what is the maximum number of students that can be on the stage safely?

To solve, we simply divide 12,750 by 140.

x=\frac{12,750}{140}

x= 91.07

We get 91.07 as our answer. Since we are considering the maximum number of students, then we must round 91.07 to the nearest whole number which would be 91.

The maximum number of students who could safely be on the stage is 91.

at a meeting ,everyone shakes hands exactly once with every other person . if there are 55 handshakes . then what Is the number
AlexFokin [52]
11.
Every handshake takes 2. If no one shakes hands twice with another, there are 10+1 total people shaking hands (11).

Name them 1 thru 11. Make a line and 11 goes down the line and shakes 10 hands and then leaves. 10 then shakes 9 hands and leaves. 8 then shakes 7 hands and leaves. Etc. 2 shakes hands with 1 and leaves. 1 just leaves.

11— 10 hs

10— 9 hs

9— 8 hs

8— 7 hs

7— 6 hs

6— 5 hs

5— 4 hs

4— 3 hs

3— 2 hs

2— 1 hs

1— leaves

Total handshakes 55, total people 11.

What percent of 72 is 48 with step by step process
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

67%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few methods to finding the percent of a number.  You can use proportions:

\frac{percent}{100}=\frac{48}{72}

The 'percent' is the percent of the fraction that you are looking for, or 48/72.

Cross-multiply:  72x = (48)(100) or 72x = 4800

Divide both sides by 72:  72x/72 = 4800/72

Solve for 'x':  x = 66.6666...

Round 66.666.... to the nearest percent: 67%

William has 24 cans of fruit and 60 cans of vegetables that he will be putting into bags for a food drive. He wants each bag to
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

William has 24 cans of fruit and 60 cans of vegetables that he will be putting into bags for a food drive.

Factor number 24 and 60:

24=2\cdot 12=2\cdot 2\cdot 6=2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 3=2^3\cdot 3\\ \\60=2\cdot 30=2\cdot 2\cdot 15=2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 5=2^2\cdot 3\cdot 5

Find the greatest common factor

GCF(24,60)=2^2\cdot 3=12

Hence, the greatest number of bags William can make is 12.

Each of these bags will have 24\div 12=2 cans of fruit and 60\div 12=5 cans of vegetables.

If he made fewer bags, 6 bags, each of these bags will have 24\div 6=4 cans of fruit and 60\div 6=10 cans of vegetables.

If he made fewer bags, 4 bags, each of these bags will have 24\div 4=6 cans of fruit and 60\div 4=15 cans of vegetables.

If he made fewer bags, 3 bags, each of these bags will have 24\div 3=8 cans of fruit and 60\div 3=20 cans of vegetables.

If he made fewer bags, 2 bags, each of these bags will have 24\div 2=12 cans of fruit and 60\div 2=30 cans of vegetables.
