8th grade = 3x = 3(47) = 141 band members.

7th + 8th = 188

7th = x
8th = 3x

x + 3x = 188    ; x = 47 ;  47 + 3(47) = 47 + 141 = 188
4x = 188
4x / 4 = 188 / 4
x = 47 --> 7th grade

8th grade = 3x = 3(47) = 141

To check:
x + 3x = 188    ; x = 47 ;
47 + 3(47) = 188
47 + 141 = 188
188 = 188

Let the size of the seventh grade band be s
That means the size of the eighth grade band must be 3s because it is 3 times as big as the seventh grade band.
Combined, the two bands have 188 members.
3s and s combined is 4s. Thus 4s must equal 188.

4s = 188
s= 47
3s = 141

The eighth grade band has 141 members.

Sheila and Lenore were driving to their grandmother’s house. Lenore left 1 hour after Sheila. Sheila drove at a rate of 45mph, a
solong [7]

Answer:

It'll take 3 h before Lenore catch up to Sheila.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first need to calculate the relative speed between the two. Since they're going at the same direction we need to subtract their individual speeds if their directions were oposite we would have to sum their speeds. In this case we have:

relative speed = Lenore speed - Sheila speed

relative speed = 60 - 45 = 15 mph

Since Sheila left 1 h before Lenore and she drove at a rate of 45 mph, then she had covered a distance of:

distance = time*speed = 1*45 = 45 miles

Before Lenore left, so in order for Lenore to catch up to Sheila she needs to cover that distance at a relative speed of 15 mph.

time = distance/(relative speed) = 45/15 = 3 h

It'll take 3 h before Lenore catch up to Sheila.

3 numbers are in arithmetic progression their sum is15 and their product is 80 determine the 3 numbers
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

2, 5, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For starters, let us assume that the numbers are x-d, x, and x+d.

Where d is the common difference between terms.

This mean that we can say, from the question

x-d + x + x+d = 15

3x = 15,

x = 5,

This means that the terms are 5, 5-d and 5+d.

On the other hand,

(5-d) * 5 * (5+d) = 80

(5-d) * (5+d) = 80/5

(5-d) * (5+d) = 16

25 - d² = 16

d² = 9

d = + or - 3.

Finally, the three numbers will be 2, 5, and 8. On the flipside, their sum and product are 15 and 80.
