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.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

0.42* 1265=x

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1265 students in Cypress Middle School. So we already know one part of the equation. 42% of these students are in PE. So we know that 42% of these 1265 students are in PE. Of these means you probably have to multiply 42% and 1265. 42% = 0.42. So to write an equation we take the 0.42 and 1265 and put it together. Therefore, 0.42 times 1265=x.

I hope this helps you

✔cos^2A+sin^2A=1

✔1-cos^2A=sin^2A

✔cos2A=cos^2A-sin^2A

✔sin2A=2.sinA.cosA

secA=1/cosA

tgA=sinA/cosA

sin^2A/1/cos^2A-sin^2A/cos^2A

sin^2A.cos^2A/cos2A
