There are 2 senators from each of the 50 states.
All senators are present, therefore there are 100 senators.

48 senators voted in favor of a treaty.
Let x = the number of additional senators who should vote in favor of the treaty to achieve 2/3 of 100.
That is,
48 + x ≥ (2/3)100
x ≥ 200/3 - 48
x ≥ 18.667

x should be an integer, therefore
x ≥ 19

Answer: 19 or greater

Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden. Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of

likoan [24]

Answer:

$1.2x +x =792$

$2.2x =792$

And we got finally:

$x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft$

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden so then the total is represented by 792 ft

We also know that Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of the fence than Matias did. Let's assume that the amount that construct by Matias was x then the amount constructed by Zaid would be 1.2 x representing 20% more than Matias and we can set up the following equation:

$1.2x +x =792$

$2.2x =792$

And we got finally:

$x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft$

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft
