Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So you can start by simplifying each fraction:

16/6 divide by 2/2 = 8/3

3s/9 divided by 3/3 = s/3

Then, since 8/3 = s/3 you just have s = 8.

The number of students taking classes at RSM Branch A is 1

juin [17]

Answer:

B = 1320

$A= \dfrac54B$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = number of students at Branch A

Let B = number of students at Branch B

If the number of students taking classes at Branch A is 1/4 more than Branch B, then:

$A=1 \dfrac14B$

$\implies A= \dfrac54B$

If Branch A has 1,650 students, then substitute A = 1650 and solve for B:

$\implies 1650= \dfrac54B$

$\implies 1650 \times 4= 5B$

$\implies 6600 =5B$

$\implies B=\dfrac{6600}{5}$

$\implies B=1320$

The area of a compact disc is 452 4/7 square centimeters. What is the diameter of a compact disc ? Use 22/7 as an approximation

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \cline{1-1} A=452\frac{4}{7} \end{cases}\implies 452\frac{4}{7}=\pi r^2\implies \cfrac{3168}{7}=\pi r^2 \implies \cfrac{3168}{7\pi }=r^2 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\pi =\frac{22}{7}}{\cfrac{3168}{7\cdot \frac{22}{7}}}=r^2\implies \cfrac{3168}{22}=r^2\implies 144=r^2\implies \sqrt{144}=r\implies 12=r \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{diameter=2r}{d=24}~\hfill$
