Answer: Pigeonhole Principle

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pigeonhole Principle espouses that if there are more objects than the places the objects are supposed to fit into, some of those places will have more than one object. For instance, if there are 20 pigeons and only 19 pigeonholes, one pigeonhole will have more than one pigeon.

If one hundred people in your neighbourhood leave between 7:30 and 8:00 A.M. and arrive 30 minutes later that means they will arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 A.M. This means that 100 people will have to arrive in 30 minutes.

We would have to fit 100 people in 30 minutes. The minutes are the pigeonholes and the people are the pigeons. There will therefore be a situation where at least 2 people will arrive at the same minute because there are many more people than minutes for them to arrive in.

Solve each system of equations 3x + 2y = 26 3x - 2y = 10 Ordered pair
MrMuchimi

Let's solve the following system of equations

\begin{gathered} 3x+2y=26 \\ 3x-2y=10 \end{gathered}

Eq 1 + Eq 2

3x+2y+3x-2y=26+106x=36x=6

Now for y

y=\frac{26-3x}{2}y=\frac{26-3\cdot6}{2}y=\frac{8}{2}y=4

If the population density for the city is 10,000 people per square mile, what is the population of the city?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

10,000 * (square miles in the city)

Step-by-step explanation:

You've been given a population of people for every square mile (10,000) and you're trying to figure out how many people live in the city.

To convert people per a square mile into people, you'll need to know how many square miles you have. I assume you've been given this as the size of the city or how many square miles the city takes up. Just multiply the amount of people per a square mile by the amount of square miles in the city, and it'll give you the population of people in every square mile of the city (the population).

Note:

This is people per a square mile, or in other words, for every square mile of city, 10,000 people live there. If you have 2 square miles of city, then 2 * 10,000 = 20,000 people live there.
