Answer:

c. 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call B the quantity of voters who voted yes for both propositions.

From the question we know that twice as many voters voted "yes" for R as for S, that can be written as the following equation:

R+B=2(S+B)

Where R is the number who voted "yes" for R but "no2 for S and S is the number who voted "yes" for S but "no" for R.

Replacing R by 750 and S by 310 and solving for B, we get:

750+B=2(310+B)

750+B=620+2B

2B-B=750-620

B=130

So, 130 voters voted yes for both propositions

Answer:

a. 22.5 km

b. 267.52 m

c. 95 m

d. (4.2)(10^{-5}) km

Step-by-step explanation:

a. You can convert from hectometers to kilometers, and then you can make the multiplication:

\frac{5hm}{10}=0.5km

(3km)(0.5km)(15)=22.5km

b. You can convert from centimeters to meters, and then you can make the multiplication:

\frac{44cm}{100}=0.44m\\(19m)(0.44m)(32)=267.52m

c. You only need to divide 1,140 meters by 12:

\frac{1,140m}{12})=95m

d. You can convert from hectometers to kilometers, from decameters to kilometers and from meters to kilometers, and divide this by 15:

\frac{6hm}{10}=0.6km

\frac{7dam}{100}=0.07km

\frac{5m}{1000}=0.005km

\frac{(3km)(0.6km)(0.07km)(0.005km)}{15}=(4.2)(10^{-5}) km
