Answer:

The number of students chose jogging is <u>144</u>, chose swimming is <u>72</u>, chose yoga is<u> 144</u> and chose biking is <u>288</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At westwood Middle School, 648 students responded to a survey asking about their favorite type of exercise.

Twice as many students chose jogging as swimming.

The same number of students chose yoga as jogging.

Twice as many students chose biking as jogging.

Now, to find the number of students chose each type of exercise.

<em>Let the students chose jogging be </em>w.<em />

<em>The student chose swimming be </em>x.<em />

<em>The student chose yoga be </em>y.<em />

<em>And the student chose biking be</em> z.

As per given in question:

Twice as many students chose jogging as swimming.

w=2x\\\frac{w}{2} =x\\.........(1)

The same number of students chose yoga as jogging.

y=w .........(2)

Twice as many students chose biking as jogging.

z=2w.  .........(3)

Total students surveyed = 648.

According to question:

w+x+y+z=648.

Putting the value from above equations (1), (2) and (3) we :

w+\frac{w}{2} +w+2w=648

4w+\frac{w}{2}=648

\frac{8w+w}{2} =648

\frac{9w}{2}=648

<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>

9w=1296

<em>Dividing both sides by 9 we get:</em>

w=144.

<u><em>The students chose jogging = 144.</em></u>

<em><u>The student chose swimming:</u></em>

x=\frac{w}{2} \\x=\frac{144}{2} \\x=72

<u><em>The students chose yoga:</em></u>

y=w\\y=144.

<u><em>The student chose biking :</em></u>

z=2w\\z=2\times 144\\z=288

Therefore, the number of students chose jogging is 144, chose swimming is 72, chose yoga is 144 and chose biking is 288.

Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the sides proportionally.

  (x -4)/9 = x/12

  4(x -4) = 3x . . . . . . . multiply by 36

  x = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16-3x to both sides, simplify

Elis [28]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8√3 ≈ 13.86 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The light source is usually placed at the focus, so the focus-vertex distance is p=3 ft. The equation for the parabola with its vertex at the origin is ...

  y = 1/(4p)x^2

  y = 1/12x^2

The opening for some y-value extends ±x from the axis of symmetry, so is a total of 2x in width.

For y=4, the corresponding value of x is ...

  4 = 1/12x^2

  48 = x^2

  √48 = x = 4√3

Then the width of the searchlight opening is ...

  2(4√3 ft) = 8√3 ft ≈ 13.86 ft

52,300,000 in scientific rotation

Answer:

-5.230,0000

Step-by-step explanation:

Your number in decimal form is -52,300,000 . The negative sign remains unchanged. To get to "standard" scientific notation, we move the decimal point so there is only one non-zero digit in front of the decimal point. So, -52,300,000 becomes -5.230,0000
