At Jefferson Elementary School, the number of teachers and students (kindergarten through sixth grade) totals 510. The ratio of

students to teachers is 16 to 1. Kindergarten students make up 1/5 of the student population and fifth and sixth graders account for 1/3 of the remainder. Students in first and second grades account for 1/4 of all the students. If there are an equal number of students in the third and fourth grades, then the number of students in third grade is how many greater or fewer than the number of students in kindergarten?
A. 12 greater
B. 17 fewer
C. 28 fewer
D. 36 fewer
E. 44 fewer

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of teachers and students (kindergarten through sixth grade) totals is 510.

The ratio of students to teachers is 16:1.

16+1=17

Total number of students = 510\times \frac{16}{17}=480

Kindergarten students make up 1/5 of the student population and fifth and sixth graders account for 1/3 of the remainder.

Kindergarten students = 480\times \frac{1}{5}=96

5th-6th grade students = (480-96)\times \frac{1}{3}=384\times \frac{1}{3}=128

Students in first and second grades account for 1/4 of all the students.

1st-2nd grade students = 480\times \frac{1}{4}=120

An equal number of students in the third and fourth grades.

Let x be the number of students in class third.

3rd-4th grade students = x+x=2x

Total students = Kindergarten + (1st-2nd) + (3rd-4th) + (5th-6th)

480=96+120+2x+128

480=344+2x

480-344=2x

136=2x

Divide both sides by 2.

68=x

It means number of students in grade 3 is 68.

68-96=-28

It means in third grade 28 fewer students than the number of students in kindergarten.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

What is a ordered pair of numbers that identify a point on a coordinate plane
Paraphin [41]

Answer:A point is named by its ordered pair of the form of (x, y). The first number corresponds to the x-coordinate and the second to the y-coordinate. To graph a point, you draw a dot at the coordinates that corresponds to the ordered pair.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line given the slope and y-intercept.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

4b. −6x + y = −4

4a. 7x + 4y = −12

3b. y = ½x + 3

3a. y = −6x + 5

2b. y + 2 = −⅔(x + 3)

2a. y - 3 = ⅘(x - 5)

1b. y = -x + 5

1a. y = 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4.

Plug the coordinates into the Slope-Intercept Formula first, then convert to Standard Form [Ax + By = C]:

b.

2 = 6[1] + b

6

−4 = b

y = 6x - 4

-6x - 6x

_________

−6x + y = −4 >> Standard Equation

a.

4 = −7⁄4[-4] + b

7

−3 = b

y = −7⁄4x - 3

+7⁄4x +7⁄4x

____________

7⁄4x + y = −3 [We do not want fractions in our Standard Equation, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

4[7⁄4x + y = −3]

7x + 4y = −12 >> Standard Equation

__________________________________________________________

3.

Plug both coordinates into the Slope-Intercept Formula:

b.

5 = ½[4] + b

2

3 = b

y = ½x + 3 >> EXACT SAME EQUATION

a.

−1 = −6[1] + b

−6

5 = b

y = −6x + 5

* Parallel lines have SIMILAR <em>RATE OF CHANGES</em> [<em>SLOPES</em>].

__________________________________________________________

2.

b. y + 2 = −⅔(x + 3)

a. y - 3 = ⅘(x - 5)

According to the <em>Point-Slope Formula</em>, <em>y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)</em>, all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE TERMS OF WHAT THEY REALLY ARE, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.

__________________________________________________________

1.

b. y = -x + 5

a. y = 5x - 3

Just write out the Slope-Intercept Formula as it is given to you.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

A.)ii. and iii.<br> B.)ii.<br> C.)i.<br> D.)i. and iv.
Vlad [161]
The answer is B) ii

The notation "p --> q" means "if p, then q". For example

p = it rains
q = the grass gets wet

So instead of writing out "if it rains, then the grass gets wet" we can write "p --> q" or "if p, then q". The former notation is preferred in a math class like this. 

So when is the overall statement p --> q false? Well only if p is true leads to q being false. Why is that? It's because p must lead to q being true. The statement strongly implies this. If it rained and the grass didn't get wet, then the original "if...then" statement would be a lie, which is how I think of a logical false statement. 

If it didn't rain (p = false), then the original "if...then" statement is irrelevant. It only applies if p were true. If p is false, then the conditional statement is known to be vacuously true. So this why cases iii and iv are true.

A can of tomatoes has a 4 in. diameter and is 4.5 in. high. What is the area of the paper label that goes around the can?
earnstyle [38]
So to find the volume of a cylinder we must use the equation 2πrh+2πr^2. So when we input the numbers we get, 2π(2*4.5)+2π(2)^2. This gives us the answer 26 times pi, or <span>81.6814089933. So your answer is D.</span>
