Answer:

<em>The number of students in the drama club is 7 and the number in the choir is 14</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

X = Number of students in choir club

Y =  Number of students in drama club

<u>First equation:</u>

x + y = 21

<u></u>

<u>Since we know that there are 7 more students in the choir club than the drama club, that means:</u>

x + 7 = y

<u>A little trick that you can do to find y is this:</u>

21 students in the choir and drama club - 7

=> 14

Meaning that y is 14

<u>So lets go back into our second equation:</u>

x + 7 = 14

7 + 7 =14

x=7

<u>Plug both variables in:</u>

7 + 14 = 21

So that means that there are 7 students in the drama club and 14 students in the choir club.

A rectangle hale card has a length of 3/10 and a width of 4/5 find the perimeter
postnew [5]

Answer:

22/10 or 2 and 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter, add all sides together. Since it's a rectangle, the other sides are the same measurement as the ones given. Add 3/10, 3/10, 4/5, and 4/5 together. To do this, find a common denominator. The lowest common denominator is 10 so multiply the 4/5 by 2/2 to get the denominator to be 10. Now, add 3/10, 3/10, 8/10, and 8/10. It adds up to 22/10 but if you don't want an improper fraction, simplify it to 2 and 1/5.

the ratio of the number of skiers who bought passes to the number of snowboaders who bought season passes is 1:2 . if 1250 more
viva [34]
If a ratio of skiers and snumboarders is 1:2, and if there are 1250 snowboarders more than skiers, it means that is that there 2500 snowboarders and 1250 skiers.

How to check it? 2500 is 1250 more than 1250 and the ratio is still 1:2 (there are two times more snowboarders than skiers). Both conditions are fulfiled, so it's correct.
