Answer:

  more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

  (3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

  (7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

  24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

__

The total number of seats on the train is ...

  1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

  532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

  In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

  In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so <em>more than half the train seats are being used</em>.

The coordinates of point P on a coordinate grid are (−5, −6). Point P is reflected across the y-axis to obtain point Q and acros
Llana [10]
Hey friend!
Let's figure this out!

P(−5, −6)
reflect about y axis
Q(5, -6)
reflect about x axis
R(5,6)


So that gives you the answer!
3. Q(−5, 6) and R(5, −6)



Hope this helped!

What is value of x? <br> See picture
morpeh [17]

Answer:

x = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 sides of the triangle are congruent then the triangle is isosceles.

Thus the 2 base angles are congruent

The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°, so

x = \frac{180-38}{2} = \frac{142}{2} = 71
