At an university 70% of the students who attend stay on campus. If 1,380 of the students who attend live off campus, what is the

total number of students who attend the university?

1 answer:

Alborosie3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

4600

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to find the total amount who attend university using the information given. A proportion is two equivalent ratios set equal to each other. Since 70% live on campus, then 30% live off campus and we are told that number is 1,380.

$\frac{30}{100}=\frac{1380}{y}$

We will cross multiply the numerator of one ratio with denominator of the other. And then solve for y.

30y=100(1380)

30y=138000

y=4600.

There are 4600 students who attend the university.

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

3*150 because the 150is your main number or otherwise known as "b" and then 3 is the multiplier so 3 * 150

Dilate the the triangle, scale factor = 3 (positive 3, ignore the

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The rule of dilation is $P'(x,y) = 3\cdot P(x,y)$ .

The vertices of the dilated triangle are $A'(x,y) = (-21, -18)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-15,-10)$ and $C'(x,y) = (-3,-15)$ , respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Linear Algebra, we define the dilation by the following definition:

$P'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot[P(x,y)-O(x,y)]$ (1)

Where:

$O(x,y)$ - Center of dilation, dimensionless.

$k$ - Scale factor, dimensionless.

$P(x,y)$ - Original point, dimensionless.

$P'(x,y)$ - Dilated point, dimensionless.

If we know that $O(x,y) = (0,0)$ , $k = 3$ , $A(x,y) = (-7,-6)$ , $B(x,y) = (-5,-2)$ and $C(x,y) =(-1,-5)$ , then dilated points of triangle ABC are, respectively:

$A'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot [A(x,y)-O(x,y)]$ (2)

$A'(x,y) = (0,0) + 3\cdot [(-7,-6)-(0,0)]$

$A'(x,y) = (-21, -18)$

$B'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot [B(x,y)-O(x,y)]$ (3)

$B'(x,y) = (0,0) + 3\cdot [(-5,-2)-(0,0)]$

$B'(x,y) = (-15,-10)$

$C'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot [C(x,y)-O(x,y)]$ (4)

$C'(x,y) = (0,0) +3\cdot [(-1,-5)-(0,0)]$

$C'(x,y) = (-3,-15)$

The rule of dilation is:

$P'(x,y) = 3\cdot P(x,y)$ (5)

The vertices of the dilated triangle are $A'(x,y) = (-21, -18)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-15,-10)$ and $C'(x,y) = (-3,-15)$ , respectively.

What are the three types of triangles, based on ANGLES?<br> Draw an example for each one.

artcher [175]

Answer:

Right Triangle, Acute Triangle, and Obtuse Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't draw it here but the right triangle has a side of 90°.

An acute triangle has a side smaller than 90°.

An obtuse triangle has a side bigger than 90°.
