584 is the total number of students in the school.

5/8 are in seventh grade and 3/8 are in eighth grade.

4/5 of the seventh graders participated in the track meet, so there were (4/5 · 5/8) · 584 students in the seventh grade participating in the track meet.

7/8 of the eighth graders participated, so there were (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 students in the eighth grade participating in the track meet.

So, all together, there were

(4/5 · 5/8) · 584 + (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 students from the school in the track meet.

Let's simplify as you asked:

(4/5 · 5/8) · 584 + (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 = [(4/5 · 5/8) + (7/8 · 3/8)] · 584 (distributive property - factoring)

= [20/40 + 21/64] · 584 (multiply fractions)

= (1/2 + 21/64) 584 (reduce the first fraction to lowest terms)

= (32/64 + 21/64) 584 (getting a common denominator)

= (53/64) 584 (combine/add the two fractions)

= 483.625 (multiply together)

All together, there were: 483.625 students in the meet.

What is the 25th term given a₁ = 8 and r = 2?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

134217728

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric sequence formula is:

\displaystyle{a_n = a_1r^{n-1}}

We know that \displaystyle{a_1=8} and \displaystyle{r=2}, we also want to find the 25th term, substitute n = 25:

\displaystyle{a_{25}=8\cdot 2^{25-1}}\\\\\displaystyle{a_{25}=8\cdot 2^{24}}\\\\\displaystyle{a_{25}=134217728}

Therefore, the 25th term of sequence is 134217728

Which polynomial represents the area of the rectangle? 3x-5= x+1
maxonik [38]

Answer: 3x² - 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is simply length * width.  Thus, simply multiply them, and FOIL.

(3x - 5) (x + 1)

3x ^2 + 3x - 5x - 5

Combine like terms

3x² - 2x - 5

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
