There are 60 players on football team that are not seniors.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Method 1:</u>

Given

Total students = 84

Also given that

2 out of 7 are seniors

Which is 2/7

So in order to find the total number of seniors we will multiply the whole number of students to 2/7

$Senior\ students = \frac{2}{7} * 84\\= 24$

So there are 24 seniors on the football team.

Players that are not seniors = 84 - 24 = 60

There are 60 players who are not seniors.

<u>Method 2:</u>

We can divide the total number by 7, to get how many sets of 7 players will be there

= 84/7 = 12

Now,

Multiplying 12 with 2 will give us the number of seniors in football team.

12*2 = 24 seniors

So,

Not seniors =84-24 = 60

JKL is a straight line.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

x = 32°

Step-by-step explanation:

∆KLM is an isosceles triangle because it has two equal sides, KL & KM. Therefore, the angles opposite to each of the two equal sides, which are referred to as the base angles are congruent to each other.

m<KML = m<KLM = 58°

m<MKL = 180 - (58 + 58) (Sum of triangle)

m<MKL = 64°

m<JKM = 180 - m<MKL (linear pair theorem)

m<JKM = 180 - 64 (Substitution)

m<JKM = 116°

∆JKM is also an isosceles triangle with two equal sides. Therefore, it's based angles (x & <J) would also be equal to each other.

Thus:

x = ½(180 - m<JKM)

x = ½(180 - 116) (Substitution)

x = 32°

?Which expression is equivalent to p + 15?

sergejj [24]

Answer: 1/3 (p+45)

Step-by-step explanation:

when you multiply p by 1/3, a fraction, it kinda divides. the parentheses come first so that’s p+45=45p. 45px1/3 (or divided by three), is 15p

OleMash [197]

Answer:

40% (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, divide the number of events played in other towns by the total number of performances the band did.

Applying this:

12 / (18 + 12) =

12 / 30 =

2 / 5 =

40%

The answer is C, 40%
