Answer: 2in

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply proportions:

The correct scale on the blueprint is : 1/4 inch represents 3 feet.

So, the proportion is: 1/4 inch/ 3 feet = (1/4) /3

For 24 feet:

x inches /24 feet = x/24

So:

(1/4)/3 = x/24

Solving for x (inches)

[(1/4)/3 ] (24) =x

x =2 inches

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

E) 340 people participated in a conference. If the ratio of ladies and gentleman is
mariarad [96]

Answer:

<em>There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the variables:

L = number of ladies in the conference

G = number of gentlemen in the conference

We know 340 people participated in the conference, thus:

L + G = 340         [1]

We are also given the ratio of ladies and gentleman as 3:2, thus:

L/G = 3/2

Cross-multiplying:

2L = 3G        [2]

From [1]:

L = 340 - G

Substituting in [2]:

2(340 - G) = 3G

Operating:

680 - 2G = 3G

5G = 680

G = 680/5 = 136

G = 136

L = 340 - 136 = 204

L = 204

There were 204 ladies and 136 gentlemen in the conference

Vu is three times as old as Wu. In 25 years Wu will be twice as old as Vu. How old is Vu now?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: Vu is 15 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let present age of WU be x.

Then, the present age of Vu = 3x

Also, After 25 years

Age of Wu = x+25

According to the question:

(x+25)=2(3x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+25=6x\\\\\Rightarrow\5x=25\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=5

Present age of Vu = 3(5) = 15

Hence, Vu is 15 years old now.

if a company has 5 employees with annual saleries of $40,000, $50,000, $40,000, $60,000 and $90,000 what is the mean anulal sala
krek1111 [17]
To find the mean of something, add all the numbers then divide by the number of numbers there are. 
40,000 + 50,000 + 40,000 + 60,000 + 90,000 = 280,000
Then divide:
280,000/5 = 56,000

The mean of the annual salaries at the company is 56,000

Hope this helped! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me. :)

Whats the answer to 1/2(5×-8)=-9
REY [17]

Answer:

I do not know if that x is a multiply sign or a variable so I'm going to answer both

If the x is a multiplication sign then the answer is -20 = -9

If the x is a variable then the answer is x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(5 * -8) = -9

(1 * 5 * -8)/2 = -9

(5 * -8)/2 = -9

-40/2 = -9

-20 = -9

-20 ≠ -9

1/2(5x - 8) = -9

1(5x -8)/2 = -9

(5x - 8)/2 = -9

2((5x - 8)/2) = -9 * 2

2(5x - 8)/2 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -18

    +8    +8

------------------

5x = -10

x = -10/5

x = -2
