There are 15 female performers in a dance recital. The ratio of men to women is 2:3. How many men are in the dance recital?

1 answer:

5 0

If 3 represents women, then we divide 15 by 3 to get 5. once we have 5, we must then multiply 2 and 5. once that is done we have 10. So the number of men in the dance recital is 10.

Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)

What is the solution to this system of equations?

Answer:

(x, y) = (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator provides a quick and easy way to find the solution.

_____

There are several other ways to solve these equations. Or you can estimate where the answer might be using logic like this:

The intercepts of the first equation are ...

x-intercept = 26/4 = 6 1/2
y-intercept = -26/3 = -8 2/3

So the graph of it will form a triangle with the axes in the 4th quadrant.

The intercepts of the second equation are ...

x-intercept = 11/3 = 3 2/3
y-intercept = 11/2 = 5 1/2

So the graph of it will form a triangle with the axes in the 1st quadrant. The x-intercept of this one is less than the x-intercept of the first equation, so the two lines must cross in the 4th quadrant.

The only 4th-quadrant answer choice is (5, -2).
