Second question isn't well formatted

Answer:

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of republicans = x

Number of democrats = x + 38

Total number of representatives from the two parties = 452

Tge number of representatives from each party can be calculated thus ;

Number of democrats + number of republicans = total number of representatives

(x + 38) + x = 452

x + 38 + x = 452

2x = 452 - 38

2x = 414

x = 414 / 2

x = 207

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 207 + 38 = 245

Jordan Pat 6 4/5 yards of pink ribbon and 3 1/4 yards of purple ribbon how much more pink ribbon the purple ribbon did she buy?
evablogger [386]
Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.

balandron [24]

Answer:

<u>The greatest depth of the  Southern Ocean is 7.24 kilometers</u>

Correct statement, question and data:

The table shows the greatest depths of four of the five oceans in the world. If the average greatest depth is 8.094 kilometers, what is the greatest depth of the  Southern Ocean?

Please see the table attached.

Source:

Question that can be found at mathpractice101

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's answer the question, this way:

Depth of the Southern Ocean = x

For solving x, we have:

(10.92 + 9.22 + 7.46 + 5.63 + x)/5 = 8.094

10.92 + 9.22 + 7.46 + 5.63 + x = 40.47 (Multiplying by 5 at both sides)

33.23 + x = 40.47

x = 40.47 - 33.23 (Subtracting 33.23 at both sides)

<u>x = 7.24</u>

<u>The greatest depth of the  Southern Ocean is 7.24 kilometers</u>

At the farmers market two pounds of peaches cost 4.20 how much would five pounds cost show work
Marizza181 [45]

Hey!

You can make a proportion:

\frac{2}{\$ 4.20} = \frac{5}{x}

Cross multiply

\$ 4.20 \times 5 = \$ 21

Divide by 2

\$ 21 \div 2 = \$ 10.5

<em>5 pounds would cost $10.50</em>

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
