250 people went to a “couples party” party at 9am. If 70 people left at 11pm how many couples remained at the party?
1 answer:
Answer:
90 couples or 180 ppl
Step-by-step explanation:
lets take "x" as the couples who remained at the party
we start out with 250:
250
but by the time it is 11pm, 70 people have left the party
since it is a couples party we need to divide by two to account for the couples
=x
250-70=180
180/2=90
so 90 couples or 180 ppl
hope this helps

Answer:
x = 48/7
Step-by-step explanation:
There's two good ways to do this problem.
Option 1:
Translate "x varies directly as y" into the equation y=kx
Then you have to find k. After you "reset" your y=kx equation, fill in k and then solve for x. See image.
Option 2:
Translate "varies directly" into a proportion, which is two fractions equal to each other:
x/y = x/y
Fill in the three numbers given and cross multiply and solve to find the fourth number. See image.
ANSWER
The length of a Diameter is 3.714
EXPLANATION
The circumscribed triangle is shown in the attachment.
We use the cosine ratio to find the altitude of the isosceles triangle.
Altitude =8cos(60°)
Altitude=4cm
Let the upper half of the altitude be y cm.
Then the radius of the circle is (y-4)cm
The upper radius meets the tangent at right angles.
From the smaller right triangle,
y=1.857
The diameter is 2y
=2(1.875)
The length of a Diameter is 3.714
