five eights of the people on a hike were children. there are 20 children on the hike. how many people total

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lelu [443]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There were a total of 32 people on the hike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of people total by p.  Then:

(5/8)p = c = the number of children

Since there are 20 children on the hike, (5/8)p must equal 20:

(5/8)p = 20

Solve for p by multiplying both sides by (8/5):

(8/5)(5/8)p = 20(8/5), or

              p = 32

There were a total of 32 people on the hike.

Three friends each have some ribbon. Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, Tino has 7.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 3.5 yards of rib
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Carol has 90 inches of ribbon, Tino has 7.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 3.5 yards of ribbon.

1 feet = 12 inches

length of ribbon Tino has = 12 x 7.5 = 90 inches

1 yard = 36 inches

length of ribbon Baxter has = 3.5 x 36 = 126 inches

Total ribbon they have = (length of ribbon Carol has) + (length of ribbon Tino has) + (length of ribbon Baxter has)

= (90+90+126) inches

= 306 inches

In feet , Total ribbon = \dfrac{306}{12}\text{ feet}   [\text{ 1 inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\text{ feet}]

=\text{25.5 feet}

In yards, Total ribbon =\dfrac{25.5}{3}\text{ yards}    [\text{1 feet}=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ yard}]

=\text{ 8.5 yards}

Hence, the total length of ribbon the three friends have is 306 inches or 25.5 feet or 8.5 yards.

What is the determinant ? <br>ANS : -2 <br>plz help me with process​
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the determinant of the given matrix,

A=\begin{bmatrix}(a-1) & (a^2-a+1)\\ (a+1) & (a^2+a+1)\end{bmatrix}

det A = (a - 1)(a² + a + 1) - (a + 1)(a² - a + 1)

         = a(a² + a + 1) - 1(a²+ a + 1) - a(a² - a + 1) - 1(a² - a + 1)

         = a³ + a² + a - a² - a - 1 - a³ + a² - a - a² + a - 1

         = (a³ - a³) + (-a² + a² - a² - a²) - 1 - 1

         = -2

Therefore, determinant of the given matrix is (-2).

What is true about the dilation?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

- It is a reduction with a scale factor between 0 and 1.

- It is an enlargement with a scale factor greater than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Dilation is defined as a transformation of an image in which the size on this image changes but its shape does not change.

2. In dilation, to obtain the new dimensions of the image you must multiply the dimensions of the original image by a number called "Scale factor".

3. When the scale factor is greater than 1 it is an enlargement and when this is between 0 and 1, it is a reduction.
