Answer:

5:3 (children to adults)

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Based on the question we can see that there is a ratio of 80 children for every 48 adults. Basically we already have the ratio, what we need to do know is simplify this ratio to make it clearer to understand.

$\frac{80children}{48adults} = \frac{5children}{3adults}$

As we can see from the calculation above there is a ratio of 5 children for every 3 adults.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Two angles are supplementary. One angle measures 26o more than the other. Find the measure of the two angles.

nikitadnepr [17]

Supplementary angles are angles whose sum is equal to 180°.

Let one angle be x
The other angle is said to be 26°more than the other so it is x + 26

x + (x+26) = 180
x + x + 26 = 180
2x = 180 - 26
2x = 154
x = 154/2
x = 77

1st angle, x, is equal to 77°
2nd angle, x + 26°, is 77° + 26° = 103°

77° + 103° = 180°
180° = 180°

Solution set is(answer)................

kirill [66]

<h3>The solution is x = 27</h3>

To undo a log, you raise both sides as exponents. This will cancel out the log on the left side. On the right side you'll have 6^2 turn into 36.

So you should end up with x+9 = 36 after you perform this step. Afterwards, subtract 9 from both sides to end up with x = 27.

Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cmcm wide by 5.6-cmcm long. Your calculator answer would be 11

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

12 square cm correct to 2 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Rectangle = L X B = 2.1 X 5.6 = 11.76 square cm

To round your result to 2 significant figure, we start counting from the left from the first non-zero digit.

The first two digits are 11 but because the number after is 7 (greater than 4), we round up to 12.

11.76 square cm = 12 square cm correct to 2 significant figures
