Answer: (4, 4.6)

=======================================

The x coordinates of the points (3,2) and (8,15) are x = 3 and x = 8 respectively. The distance between these x values is 8-3 = 5 units. So we move 5 units to the right to go from the first point to the second point.

Imagine we had 5 blocks. If 1 of them is colored red and the other four are green, then the ratio of red to green is 1:4. We have 1 part red, 4 parts green. So 1+4 = 5 total. The "red block" in the metaphor mentioned basically tells us how far to move over the total distance 5. So we move 1/5th of the way along the horizontal distance of 5.

1/5 of 5 = (1/5)*5 = 1

So we move exactly one unit along the x direction. Therefore, we add 1 to to the x coordinate of (3,2) to end up with (3+1,2) = (4,2). This isn't the final answer, but it helps get us closer.

---------------

For the y coordinates of the given points we see that the y difference is 15-2 = 13. Multiply this by 1/5 to get

(1/5)*13 = 13/5 = 2.6

We follow effectively the same steps as before, but now we're dealing with the y values this time. So we move 2.6 units in the y direction (ie move 2.6 units up)

Add 2.6 onto the y value of that last point we found to get (4,2+2.6) = (4,4.6)

So that explains why the answer is (4, 4.6)

A visual might help so I've posted one below in the attached images. In that image, the location of point T is the final answer.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: 204 students

Step-by-step explanation: To find  out the greatest number of students that can fit at the 17 tables in the school cafeteria, we simply need to multiply the number of students that can fit at each table by the number of tables.

12 students can fit at 1 table and there are 17 tables.

So we have (12)(17) which is 204.

So the greatest number of students that can be seated din the cafeteria is 204 students.
