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.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1.2 x 10⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

12,000 has 2 places of other numbers before a spam of zeroes.

Take the numbers before zeroes and put a decimal to the left of the last digit.

Last digit is 2 so a decimal goes before 2

1.2

Count how many places the decimal moved: this number is your power of 10.

12000.  --> 1.2000

It moved 4 places.

12,000 = 1.2 x 10⁴
