Total number of yards of ribbon available =  25 yards.

Number of yards of fabric available  = 30 yards.

Number of yards of ribbon a child need  = 1.75 yards

Number of yards of fabric a child need = 2.8 yards.

<em>Total number of children participate in the activity for 25 yards of ribbon = 25/1.75 = 14.28 approximately 15 children.</em>

<em>Total number of children participate in the activity for 30 yards of fabric = 30/2.8 = 10.7 approximately 11 children.</em>

<h3>Therefore, maximum 11 children can participate in the activity because each child required both 1.75 yards of ribbon and 2.8 yards of fabric .</h3>

Levart [38]
First, we know that their are 419 students....and that each needs 4 ribbons.

419*4 = 1676

Now, we also need to add the 48 ribbons for the parents.

1676 + 48 = 1724

Now, in total, Mr. wolf needs 1,724 ribbons.

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints 2,5 and 4,-7
Phoenix [80]
<h3>Answer:   (3, -1)</h3>

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

Explanation:

The midpoint formula is (x_m, y_m) = \left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

This basically says to add the corresponding coordinates and divide by 2.

The given points (2,5) and (4,-7) have x coordinates of 2 and 4. They add to 2+4 = 6, and then that result cuts in half to 6/2 = 3. The x coordinate of the midpoint is 3.

The y coordinate of the midpoint is y = -1 since adding the y coordinates of the given points leads to 5+(-7) = -2 which cuts in half to -1.

So overall the midpoint is located at (3, -1)

A pair of coins is tossed. What is the probability of no tails? <br> 0 <br> 1/2 <br> 1/4
lesya [120]
0 cannot be the answer. It makes no sense because you can get a probability of getting tails when flipping a coin.

The answer would be 1/2. You have '2' choices (heads or tails) and 1 out of those 2 times would you possibly get tails.
