Answer:

Fraction of the people chose a tart = \frac{13}{45}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A group of people went to a coffee shop. Each person chose a

            drink  and a treat. number of people who chose coffee: number of  

            people who chose tea = 1:4. Of those who chose coffee,  number of  

            people who chose a muffin number of people who chose a tart =    

            2:7. Of  those who chose tea,  number of people who chose a muffin  

            : number of people who chose a tart = 5:1.

To find - What fraction of the people chose a tart?

Proof -

Let the Total number of People went to a coffee shop = 5x

Now,

As given, number of people who chose coffee: number of people who chose tea = 1:4

⇒Total number of people who chooses coffee = \frac{1}{5}.5x = x

  Total number of people who chooses tea  = \frac{4}{5}.5x = 4x

Now,

As given,

Of those who choose coffee,  number of people who chose a muffin number of people who chose a tart = 2:7

⇒Total number of people who choose muffin after coffee = \frac{2}{9}x

   Total number of people who choose tart after coffee = \frac{7}{9}x

Also,

Given that

Of those who chose tea,  number of people who chose a muffin : number of people who chose a tart = 5:1

⇒Total number of people who choose muffin after tea = \frac{5}{6}.4x = \frac{20}{6}x

   Total number of people who choose tart after tea = \frac{1}{6}.4x = \frac{4}{6}x

∴ we get

Total number of people who chooses tart = Total number of people who choose tart after coffee + Total number of people who choose tart after tea

⇒Total number of people who chooses tart = \frac{7}{9}x + \frac{4}{6}x

                                                                         = \frac{7}{9}x + \frac{2}{3}x

                                                                         = \frac{7x + 6x}{9}

                                                                         = \frac{13}{9}x

⇒Total number of people who chooses tart = \frac{13}{9}x

Now,

Fraction of the people chose a tart = \frac{People choose tart}{Total people}

                                                           = \frac{\frac{13}{9}x }{5x}

                                                           = \frac{13}{45}

⇒Fraction of the people chose a tart = \frac{13}{45}

Solve for m. -19m − 19 = 4m − 4m + 19
dangina [55]
-19m-19 = 4m-4m+19
-19m-19 = 0+19
-19m = 19+19
-19m = 38
m = 38÷(-19)
m = -2

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

No, the student's work is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Student expanded an expression, as shown.

-6(4x-\frac{2}{13} )

-6(4x)+6(-\frac{2}{13} )

-24x-\frac{12}{13}

To find : Is the student's work correct?

Solution :

The expansion of student is not correct.

Follow the below steps to get correct solution and student mistake,

Step 1 - Write the expression,

-6(4x-\frac{2}{13} )

Step 2 - Apply distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+ac

=(-6)(4x)+(-6)(-\frac{2}{13})

Step 3 - Solve,

=-24x+\frac{12}{13}

The student was mistaken in step 2 in solving the sign.
