Answer:

A. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a total of 176 interviewed by Oliver and a total of 140 interviewed by Jenny. To find how many more 10th graders than 9th graders were interviewed, subtract the totals given

176 - 140 = 36

This is how we came to the answer:

We are given 70% of the 10th-grade and 30% of the 9th-grade with a total of 176 for Oliver.

While we're given 75% of the 9th-grade class and 25% of the 10th-grade with a total of 140 interviewed by Jenny

Oliver's Interviewees

10-graders

Firstly, let's find what the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Oliver; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

70% of 176 =

Cross multiply

123.2 were 10-graders interviewed by Oliver

9th-graders

Now, to find the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Oliver; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

30% of 176 =

 

Cross multiply

52.8 were 9th-graders interviewed by Oliver

Jenny's Interviewees

9th-graders

Firstly, let's find what the number of 9th-graders was interviewed by Jenney; find the percentage of the 9th-graders by the total;

75% of 140 =

 

Cross multiply

105 students were 9th-graders interviewed by Jenney.

10th-graders

Now, to find the number of 10th-graders was interviewed by Jenney; find the percentage of the 10th-graders by the total;

25% of 140 =  

 

Cross multiply  

35 students were 10th-graders interviewed by Jenney.  

Total calculation

Use the results and sum them up by 9th-grade plus 9th-grade and 10th-grade plus 10-grade. Then subtract the amount gotten from 9th-grade away from the amount gotten from 10th-grade;

Oliver's 9th-grade = 52.8

Jenny's 9th-grade = 105

105 + 52.8 = 157.8

Oliver's 10th-grade = 123.2

Jenny's 10th-grade = 35

123.2 + 35 = 158.2

Total calculation: 158. 2 - 157.8 = 0.4

Therefore, there are 36 more 10th than 9th.

April worked 1 1/2 times as long on her math project as did Carl. Debbie worked 1 1/4 times as long as Sonia. Richard worked 1 3
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

        Student                                                            Hours worked

             April.                                                                  7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs

        Debbie.                                                                   8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs

        Richard.                                                                   7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data's were missing so we have attached the complete information in the attachment.

Given:

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = 5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs

5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs can be Rewritten as \frac{21}{4}\ hrs

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = \frac{21}{4}\ hrs

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = 6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs

6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs can be rewritten as \frac{13}{2}\ hrs

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = \frac{13}{2}\ hrs

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = 5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs

5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs can be rewritten as \frac{17}{3}\ hrs.

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = \frac{17}{3}\ hrs.

Now Given:

April worked 1\frac{1}{2} times as long on her math project as did Carl.

1\frac{1}{2}  can be Rewritten as \frac{3}{2}

Number of Hours April worked on math project = \frac{3}{2} \times Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project

Number of Hours April worked on math project = \frac{3}{2}\times \frac{21}{4} = \frac{63}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs

Also Given:

Debbie worked 1\frac{1}{4} times as long as Sonia.

1\frac{1}{4}  can be Rewritten as \frac{5}{4}.

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = \frac{5}{4} \times Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = \frac{5}{4}\times \frac{13}{2}= \frac{65}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs

Also Given:

Richard worked 1\frac{3}{8} times as long as tony.

1\frac{3}{8} can be Rewritten as \frac{11}{8}

Number of Hours Richard worked on math project = \frac{11}{8} \times Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = \frac{11}{8}\times \frac{17}{3}= \frac{187}{24}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs

Hence We will match each student with number of hours she worked.

        Student                                                            Hours worked

             April.                                                                  7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs

        Debbie.                                                                   8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs

        Richard.                                                                   7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs
