Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year

Ratio of the number of middle school students to number of high school students = 1 : 8

Total ratio = 9

Middle school = 1

High school = 8

Total students in the band = x

Middle school = 1/9x

High school = 8/9x

Total = 1/9x + 8/9x

This year

Ratio of the number of middle school students to number of high school students = 2 : 7

Total ratio = 9

Middle school = 2

High school = 7

Total students = x

Middle school = 2/9x

High school = 7/9x

Total = 2/9x + 7/9x

If there are 18 middle school students in the band this year

2/9x = 18

x = 18÷2/9

= 18 × 9/2

= 81

x = 81

Last year:

1/9x + 8/9x

= 1/9 * 81 + 8/9 * 81

= 9 + 72

= 81

This year

2/9x + 7/9x

2/9*81 + 7/9*81

= 18 + 63

=81

Change in middle school =this year - last year

= 18 - 9

= 9 (increase)

Change in high school = this year - last year

= 63 - 72

= -9 (decrease)

You have a set of cards labeled 1-10. Set A is drawing an even card. Set B is drawing a 8 or higher.  What is the  P ( A ∪ B ) ?
creativ13 [48]

set A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}   (only even cards)

set B = {8, 9, 10}    (8 or higher)

( A ∩ B ) means the numbers which are common in both sets .

They both have 8 & 10 in common. 

So the answer is: P(A ∩ B) = {8,10}
