Answer:

Both sports = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

What an interesting question. At first I didn't think it was possible. Then I saw the word only. That made all the difference in the world.

Givens

Football only = 35

Volleyball only = 15

Ratio = 5/3

Equation

Let the number of students who play both = x

Volleyball / Football = (x + 15) /(x + 35) = 3/5

Solution

(x + 15) / (x + 35) = 3/5                  Cross multiply

5*(x + 15) = 3(x + 35)                     Remove the brackets

5x + 75 = 3x + 105                        Subtract 3x from both sides

<u>3x            3x</u>

2x + 75 = 105                               Subtract 75 from both sides

   <u>   - 75   -75  </u>

2x = 30                                        Divide by 2  

2x/2 = 30/2

x = 15

15 people play both sports.

Segment WT and DG are congruent which means that the shape and size, but we are allowed to flip, slide or turn. In this example the shapes are congruent (you only need to flip one over and move it a little). Angles are congruent when they are the same size (in degrees or radians). Sides are congruent when they are the same length.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

18.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

3 students are both female and senior

the total number of students is 7+10+8+5=30

so the probability to select one female senior is 3/30=1/10=0.10

probability to select one female is 16/30=16/30

probability that the student is a senior given that it's female is

=P(female and senior)/P(female)

=1/10*30/16=3/16

hope this helps
