On the Ford Aquatics swim team, 11 year olds and 12 year olds swim together. The Gold team has a 2:3 ratio of 11 year olds to 12

year olds. The Silver team has a 3:8 ratio of 11 year olds to the total swimmers. If the two teams have the same number of 11 year olds what could the size of the teams be?

Answer:

The Gold team has 8 swimmers and the silver team also has 8 swimmers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of swimmers on the Gold team. Since, the Gold team has a 2:3 ratio of 11 year olds to 12 year olds, the number of 11 year old is T' = 2/(2 + 3) × T = 2T/5 and the number of 12 year olds is T" = 3/(2 + 3) × T = 3T/5.

The silver team has a 3:8 ratio of 11 year olds to the total swimmers. Let T₁ be the number of 11 year old swimmers in the silver team. So, from the ratio 3:8, the number of 11 year old swimmers in the silver team is 3 and the total number of swimmers in the silver team is 8.

Since the number of 11 year old swimmers in both teams are the same, then

2T/5 = 3

T = 3 × 5 ÷ 2

T = 15/2

T = 7.5

T≅ 8

So, the Gold team also has 8 swimmers.

So, the Gold team has 8 swimmers and the silver team also has 8 swimmers.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

(1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two lines intersect at 1,4 when you graph them

The first equation is already in slope intercept from, so you know the y-int. is 7 and the slope is 3. However, the second equation must be put in slope int. form.

5x+2y=3

move the y to the other side

5x=3-2y

move the 3 to the other side, so the y variable is by itself

5x-3=-2y

divide by -2 to the equation is equal to y

(-5x/2)+(3/2)=y

you now know the y int. of the second equation is 3/2 and the slope is -5/2

know that you know the slop int. formulas for both equations you can graph them

5 ft
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

875 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangles are similar.

The scale factor is 5 since 25/5 = 5.

The scale factor of the areas is the square of the scale factor of the sides.

area of EFGH = 5² × 35 ft² = 875 ft²
