Answer:

The north campus had 600 students (180 music majors)

The south campus had 400 students (280 music majors)

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of students at the north campus before the merger

If the total of students for the two school is given as 1000, so:

(1000 - x) =  number of students at the south campus before the merger.

The equation for music major is:

0,3x + 0,7(1000-x) = 0,46(1000)

0,3x + 700 - 0,7x = 460

0,3x - 0,7x = 460 - 700

- 0,4x = -240

x = -240/-0,4

x = 600 -----> total number of students at the north campus

600*(0,3) = 180 music majors at the north

100 - 600 = 400 ------> total number of students at the south campus

400*(0,7) = 280------>music majors at the south

Jermaine has just painted a large mural. It is 8 1/2 feet wide. The wall he wants to place it on is 11 3/4 feet wide. About how
PolarNik [594]
First turn 1/2 to 2/4 so you have a common denominator.
Next turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
11 3/4 --> 47/4 and 8 2/4 --> 34/4
Subtract:
47/4 - 34/4 = 13/4
Divide:
13/4 = 3.25
3.25/2 --> 1.625 or 1 5/8
Therefore, he will have to place it 1 5/8 feet from each side

Hope this helps!

A package of 25 wristbands cost $5.25. At this rate, what is the cost of 1 wristband in dollars and cents?
azamat

Answer:

$0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion. Say x is the cost of 1 wristband:

\frac{5.25}{25} =\frac{x}{1}

Now, we cross multiply:

25x = 5.25

Solving for x, we see that x = 0.21.

Thus, the answer is $0.21.
