Given:
Number of passengers seated in the roller coaster = 21
Empty seats = 3
Number of cars in roller coaster = 4 (each with the same number of seats)
To find:
An equation that can be used to determine the number of seats in each car.
Solution:
Let s be the number of seats in each car.
Total number of seats in 4 cars = 4s
Using the given information,
Total number of seats = Occupied seated + Empty seats
= 21 + 3
= 24
Now, the required equation is

Therefore, the required equation is
.
Divide both sides by 4.


Therefore, the number of seats in each car is 6.
Answer:
- resistance: (2r +5)
- current: (3i +4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The factors of the given expression are ...
6ir +15i +8r +20 = (3i +4)(2r +5)
Which factor is current and which is resistance is not clear. Usually, resistance is referred to using the variable r, so we suppose the expressions are supposed to be ...
resistance: (2r +5)
current: (3i +4)
Answer:
64 ivy stems
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we can use rule of three:
Firstly we had 72 ivy stems to use in 18 centerpieces, and know we have 16 centerpieces and want to know how many ivy stems we need to use, so:
18 centerpieces -> 72 ivy stems
16 centerpieces -> X ivy stems
18/16 = 72/X
X = 16*72/18 = 64
He needs to use now 64 ivy stems to maintain the ratio.
