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.

If you meant to write this;Nisha and Marcie Drive 20 miles from their sisters to hoodoo to go skiing. The speed limit is 55 miles per hour. It snowed all night, and the safe speed to drive is 40 miles per hour. Explain how you can determine how many more minutes it takes to drive 20 miles at 40 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone.
If you drive 20 miles at 40 mile per hour, then 20 miles divided by 40 miles equals .5.5 times 60 minutes (one hour) is 30 minutesIf you drive 20 miles at 55 mile per hour, then 20 miles divided by 55 miles equals .3636.3636 time 60 minutes (one hour) is 21.8 minutes30 minutes at 40 mph minus 21.8 minutes at 55 mph is 8.2 minutes faster

shusha [124]
1st = 100% - 20% = 80%
2nd= 100%-15% = 85%

Net Price Factor = 0.8 x 0.85 = 0.68

Net Price = $1899 x 0.68

Final Net Price = $1,291.32

Total Discount= $1899 - 1,291.32 = $607.68

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Organizations like NASA who explore space and planets often have to deal with measurement of very long distances such as the one stated above. The Major challenge with the distance written in the format expressed above is the difficulty to read, state or use in mathematical calculations as it is too explicit. A more effective method is to express this distance in standard format and more suitable long distant units such as miles.

For instance;

880,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometers could be expressed as in standard form as ;

8.8 * 10^23 km
