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.

The ratio of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 7:5:8. What is the measure of the largest angle
kifflom [539]

Answer:

72° is the largest angle, 63°, 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 5x + 8x = 180

20x = 180

20x/20 = 180/20

x = 9

I set the equation equal to 180 because there are 180 degrees in a triangle.

Now find the largest angle, which will be the 8x, since 8 is bigger than 5 and 7.

8x

8(9)

72° is the largest angle

If you need the other two angle measures:

7x

7(9)

63°

5x

5(9)

45°

Dmitriy789 [7]
To answer the question above we first need to know how much is the interest per year. In equation, 3% of $2500 is 75. 75 per year in 4 years is 300. So add $300 to the principal amount, the money after 4 years would be $2800.
