The event coordinator asks you to determine how many students participated in the track-and-field day. The total number of stude

nts in seventh and eighth grade combined is 584; 5/8 of them are seventh graders and 3/8 of them are eighth graders. If 4/5 of the seventh graders participated in track-and-field day and 7/8 of the eighth graders participated, about how many total students participated? Describe the process you used to find your answer.

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 assessed valuation of a house with a $67,170 market value and a 49 percent assessment rate?
-BARSIC- [3]
Had to look for the missing options and here is my answer.

Given that the market value of the house is $67,170 and it has a 49 percent assessment rate, the assessed valuation of this house would be $32,913. So how we got this amount is that we multiplied 0.49 by 67,170 and we got 32,913.3. Hope this answers your question.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=sin^2t

Step-by-step explanation:

y=cost

DE :(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=1-y^2

If y is a solution of given DE then it satisfied the DE.

Differentiate w.r.t t

\frac{dy}{dt}=-sint

Using the formula

\frac{d(cosx)}{dx}=-sinx

LHS:(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=(-sint)^2=sin^2t

RHS

1-y^2=1-cos^2t=sin^2t

By using the formula

sin^2t=1-cos^2t

LHS=RHs

Hence, y is a solution of given DE

(\frac{dy}{dt})^2=sin^2t

A blue jay lives in a nest that is 12 meters high in a tree the blue jay flies 15 meters to get from its nest to a flower on the
Ivan

Answer:

The distance between the base of the tree and the flower is 9m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have to paint a picture.

The flower is on the ground, the height of the tree is 12m.

The distance from the nest to the flower on the floor is 15m

Indisputably, what we have is a right angled triangle, with the height being 12m, the length of the hypotenuse being 15 and we are asked to calculate the adjacent which represents the distance from the base of the tree to the flower

To get this distance, we simply apply the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse(longest side of the triangle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Thus mathematically, we know that our hypotenuse is 15m and the height is 12m

The length we are to calculate is the adjacent and it is equal to;

15^2 - 12^2

= 225 - 144

= 81

The length is thus

√(81) = 9m

Please check attachment for a diagrammatic picture of the triangle
