Answer:

2967 yes votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Welcome to Brainly!

One way of doing this problem follows:

Find the ratio, r, mentioned in the problem statement.  To do this,

write the equation 3r + 5r = 7912 and solve this for r:

8r = 7912, so that r = 989.

Then the number of yes votes was 3(989), or 2967, and the number of no votes was 5(989), or 4947.

check:  Does the ratio 2967/4947 equal 3/5?  yes.

There were 2967 yes votes.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (3, 2) and (9, 6)
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>( 6 , 4 )</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

M = (  \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \:  \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} )\\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(3, 2) and (9, 6)

The midpoint is

M = ( \frac{3 + 9}{2}  \:  , \:  \frac{2 + 6}{2} ) \\  = ( \frac{12}{2}  \: , \:  \frac{8}{2} )

We have the final answer as

<h3>( 6 , 4 )</h3>

Hope this helps you

KIM [24]
I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
 PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.

 First, we define the variables:
 x: number of years after 1950
 f (x): amount of vinyl sold.
 Then, with the variables defined, we have:

 68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 ---------> f (8) = 68594

 91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 ---------> f (11) = 91299

 38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 ---------> f (2) = 38720

 161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 ---------> f (17) = 161743
