Answer:

The smallest number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using simultaneous equation;

x+y = 18.....(1)

4x-y = 17.....(2)

from equation (1)..

x+y = 18

y = 18-x...(3)

substitute y into equation (2)

4x-y = 17

4x-(18-x) = 17

4x-18+x = 17

4x+x = 17+18

5x = 35

x = 35÷5

x = 7

substitute x into equation (3)

y = 18-x

y = 18-7

y = 11

Therefore; x=7

y=11

11+7=18

(4×7)-11=17

the smallest number is 7

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

  • North Middle School = 10 students
  • Central Middle School = 6 students
  • South Middle School = 4 students

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the total number of students in all the schools:

= 618 + 378 + 204  

= 1,200 students

Use this number to calculate the proportion of the total population that a school so that this can then be used to determine the proportion of the 20 delegates they should sent.

North Middle school:  

= 618/1,200 * 20  

= 10 students

 

Central Middle School:  

= 378 / 1,200 * 20  

= 6 students

 

South Middle School:  

= 204/1,200 * 20  

= 4 students

-BARSIC- [3]

1195 boxes are needed to ship all the tables

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, furniture store received an order for 8,367 tables

They can fit 7 tables in the lower shipping box

To find: Number of shipping boxes needed to ship all the tables

From given,

Total number of tables = 8367

Number of tables fit in one shipping box = 7

Thus, we can find the number of shipping boxes needed to ship all the tables by dividing total number of tables by number of tables fit in one shipping box

\text{Number of shipping boxes needed } = \frac{\text{Total number of tables}}{\text{Number of table fit in one box}}

Substituting the values we get,

\text{Number of shipping boxes needed } = \frac{8367}{7}=1195.28 \approx 1195

Thus 1195 boxes are needed to ship all the tables
