Let the original number be ‘x’
Then half of that number= 1/2x or simply x/2
Similarly one fifth of that number = x/5
According to the question
x+x/2+x/5=51
Taking LCM
10x/10+2x/10+5x/10=51
Multiplying 10 throughout
10x+2x+5x=510
17x=510
x=510/17
Therefore x=30
A possible scale for the drawing can be
1 inches : 3 feet.
2 inches : 6 feet
or 3 inches to 9 feet
or 0.5 inches to 1.5 feet.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Number of students in vans =15 and bus =46
Step-by-step explanation:
use variables for the vans and buses
let x= vans and y=buses
Now solve the 2 equations simultaneously
<em><u>remember</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>number</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>your</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equations</u></em>
6x+7y=412..........1
6x+9y=504.........2
make x the subject of one equation
and label it equation 3
6x=412—7y
subs 3 into 2
subs 4 into 1
Therefore there are 15 students in each van and 46 students in each bus.
Answer:
26.2% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we have that:
935 smokers received the treatment(nicotine patch).
After 6 months, 245 of them were not smoking.
Assuming it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of all smokers, estimate the percentage of all smokers who, when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
This percentage is 245/935 = 0.2620.
26% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
