Answer:

257 students in the lower school

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to make the fractions have an equal denominator so make 1/3 5/15s and 2/5 to 6/15's, 5+6= 11/15s that leaves 4/15's for the lower part of the school

4 divided by 15 is 4.6 repeating so divide 1200 by 4.66 and boom

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

YW=20\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other

The figure XYZW is a parallelogram

so

VW=VY

VX=VZ

<em>Find the value of b</em>

VW=VY

substitute the given values

b+8=5b

solve for b

5b-b=8\\4b=8\\b=2

Find the length of YW

YW=YV+VW ----> by addition segment postulate

YW=5b+b+8

substitute the value of b

YW=6(2)+8=20\ units

What is m∠2?<br> What is m∠1?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

<2 = 75

<1 = 105

Step-by-step explanation:

<2 and 75 are alternate interior angles and since the lines are parallel, they are equal

<2 = 75

<2 + <1 = 180    since the angles form a line

75+ <1 = 180

Subtract 75 from each side

<1 = 180-75

<1 = 105

Crazy boy [7]
Answers:

(a) p + m = 5
     0.8m = 2

(b) 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture

Explanations:

(a) Note that we just need to mix the following to get the desired mixture:

     - peanut (p) - peanuts whose amount is p
     - mixture (m) - mixture (80% almonds and 20% peanuts) that has an amount of m; we denote this as

By mixing the peanuts (p) and the mixture (m), we combine their weights and equate it 5 since the mixture has a total of 5 lb.

Hence, 

p + m = 5

Note that the desired 5-lb mixture has 40% almonds. Thus, the amount of almonds in the desired mixture is 2 lb (40% of 5 lb, which is 0.4 multiplied by 5).

Moreover, since the mixture (m) has 80% almonds, the weight of almonds that mixture is 0.8m.

Since we mix mixture (m) with the pure peanut to get the desired mixture, the almonds in the desired mixture are also the almonds in the mixture (m). 
So, we can equate the amount of almonds in mixture (m) to the amount of almonds in the desired measure.

In terms mathematical equation,

0.8m = 2 

Hence, the system of equations that models the situation is 

p + m = 5
0.8m = 2

(b) To solve the system obtained in (a), we first label the equations for easy reference,

(1) p + m = 5
(2) 0.8m = 2

Note that using equation (2), we can solve the value of m by dividing both sides of (2) by 0.8. By doing this, we have

m = 2.5

Then, we substitute the value of m to equation (1) to solve for p:

p + m = 5
p + 2.5 = 5   (3)

To solve for p, we subtract both sides of equation (3) by 2.5. Thus,

p = 2.5

Hence, 

m = 2.5, p = 2.5

Therefore, the solution to the system is 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture.
