Answer:

No. pp you can fit in a van: 6,

No. pp you can fit in a bus: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v = # of pp in vans, and let b = # of pp in buses:

8v + 9b = 228,

4v + 5b = 124

If we solve this system of equations by substitution, we isolate the first eq. for v and then substitute into the bottom eq:

v = 228-9b/8,

Substitute v = 228-9b/8 into bottom eq:

[4 * 228-9b/8 + 5b = 125]

[228+b/2=124]

[228+b = 248]

[b = 20]

Now substitute 20 to find no. of pp in the vans:

v = 228 - 9(20)/8 = 228  - 180/8 = 48/8 = 6

A farm has sheep,pigs and cows at a ratio of 8:3:2. There are 10 cows, how many pigs and sheep are there
dedylja [7]

15 pigs and 40 sheep

10 cows is equivalent to 2 parts of the ratio, hence

\frac{10}{2} = 5 ← 1 part of the ratio, hence

8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ← number of sheep

3 parts = 3 × 5 = 15 ← number of pigs
