A number line is used in the mathematical positioning of real numbers that include the numbers from positive infinity to negative infinity. This includes rational, irrational, fractions, and whole numbers. In this case, we are given with an expression that we have to reduce to lowest terms: negative seven and one over two and +1. The first one is equal to -7.5 while the other one is equal to +1. Positive numbers lie on the right side of zero (center of the line) while negative numbers lie on the left on the other hand. -7.5 lies between -8 and -7 while +1 lies exactly between 0 and 2. Both of which are positive numbers.
Answer:
609
Step-by-step explanation:
ratio of teachers to students at Priory School =2:27
Let X= total number of both the students and the teacher
Ratio of teacher=( 2/29)X
Ratio of student is (27/29 )X
But total number of teacher = 42
2/29 ×X =42
2X= 42×29
2X=1218
X= 609
Hence, school's total population is 609
Triangle ABC is similar to triangle APQ. They have corresponding line segments. Line segment PQ corresponds to BC.
