Answer:

212 teachers are needed for an enrollment of 2,650 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a kind of question that can be solved using <em>proportions. </em>

<em>Proportions</em> are used when we are asked about finding one unknown value, knowing the value of others that keep a <em>ratio</em> among all of them, including the unknown value.

In this case, we know that a school board estimated that 4 teachers are needed for every 50 students:

\\ \frac{4_{teachers} }{50_{students}}=ratio  

If we divide 4 teachers by 50 students, we obtained a <em>ratio</em>, or a constant relationship that remains between teachers and students, that is, how many teachers are needed for the number of students, or more generally "<em>how many times the first number contains the second</em>" [Wikipedia, 2019].

We can also notice that more students require more teachers (which is a relation of <em>direct proportionality</em>), that is, if we require more students, more teachers are also required in the same ratio or constant already mentioned.

Then, we can make a proportion among these values because they keep the same ratio of teachers to students (but can also be students to teachers).

So, we can pose the following question:

If four (4) teachers are needed for every 50 students, how many teachers are needed to attend 2,650 students? Then,

\\ \frac{4_{teachers}}{50_{students}} = \frac{X_{teachers}}{2650_{students}} = <em>the same ratio or constant</em>.

To know the amount of teachers needed for 2,650 students:

\\ X_{teachers} = \frac{2650_{students} * 4_{teachers} }{50_{students}}.

or,

\\ X_{teachers} = \frac{2650 * 4_{teachers} }{50}.

\\ X_{teachers} = 212_{teachers}.

So, for an enrollment of 2,650 students there should be 212 teachers, according to the ratio (teachers/students) previously determined by the school board.

I need to find the domain and ranges of some of these graphs and I can’t really do the last few! Can anyone help?
hodyreva [135]
(1) For the parabola on the bottom row, the domain would be R and the range would be y ≥ -5

(2) For the hyperbola on the bottom row, the domain would be R\{3} (since there is an asymptote at x = 3) and the range would be R\{4} (since there is an asymptote at y = 4)

(3) For the square root function on the bottom row, the domain would be x ≥ -5 and the range would be (-∞, -2]

(4) For the function to the very right on the bottom row, the domain would be R and the range would be (-∞, -3]

Consider the data set
Serhud [2]
Answer: 3.496

Explanation: You find the mean, which is 57.714. Next, you subtract the mean from each number in the dataset, |55 - 57.714|, |59 - 57.714|, etc. You then add all of those numbers together and divide them by the amount of numbers like you would determining the mean. This gives you 3.496. Also sorry for taking so long to respond I’m on my phone and cannot type as fast as I would on pc.

Is 2/13 a repeating decimal
Cloud [144]

The denominator 13 cannot be factored so that only 2's and 5's show up, so this means that 2/13 is a non-terminating decimal. Therefore, this decimal repeats itself

Use a calculator to see that: 2/13 = 0.153846  153846  153846 ....

The spaces are put in to help make the number more readable. Note how the "153846" keeps repeating forever
