Answer:
For this expression I guessed I would use subtraction because when you subtract Kimiko's miles to Celeste's miles you could see how much faster Kimiko was than Celeste.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 7th and 8th grade combined, there 3+5 girls = 8 girls, and 7+5 boys = 12 boys. If there are only boys and girls, then there are 12+8=20 students in all.
The fraction of girls out of the total is P = 8/20 = 2/5.

(a) x = 4
First, let's calculate the area of the path as a function of x. You have two paths, one of them is 8 ft long by x ft wide, the other is 16 ft long by x ft wide. Let's express that as an equation to start with.
A = 8x + 16x
A = 24x
But the two paths overlap, so the actual area covered will smaller. The area of overlap is a square that's x ft by x ft. And the above equation counts that area twice. So let's modify the equation by subtracting x^2. So:
A = 24x - x^2
Now since we want to cover 80 square feet, let's set A to 80. 80 = 24x - x^2
Finally, let's make this into a regular quadratic equation and find the roots.
80 = 24x - x^2
0 = 24x - x^2 - 80
-x^2 + 24x - 80 = 0
Using the quadratic formula, you can easily determine the roots to be x = 4, or x = 20.
Of those two possible solutions, only the x=4 value is reasonable for the desired objective.
(b) There were 2 possible roots, being 4 and 20. Both of those values, when substituted into the formula 24x - x^2, return a value of 80. But the idea of a path being 20 feet wide is rather silly given the constraints of the plot of land being only 8 ft by 16 ft. So the width of the path has to be less than 8 ft (the length of the smallest dimension of the plot of land). Therefore the value of 4 is the most appropriate.
Answer:
B) The sample size was 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of sample size in January = 100
Number of sample size in March = 100
Number of sample size in June = 100
Number of sample size in September = 100
The average sample size for the study = (100 +100+100+100)/4
= 400/4
= 100
So the average sample size for the study is 100 women between 18 to 21 years.
