Answer:

Answer: Around 1000 students would buy a school lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in one class, 14 students bring lunch from home, and 20 buy lunch in the school. This will be our sample.

In total we have 20 + 14 = 34 students, this will be our 100%.

The percentage of students that bring lunch from home can be estimated as the quotient between the number of students that bring lunch from home and the total number of students, times 100%.

p1 = (14/34)*100% = 41.18%

And the percentage of students that buy lunch at school can be computed in the same way:

p2= (20/34)*100% = 58.82%

Then, out of the 1700 students in middle school, we can estimate that around 58.82% of them will buy lunch in the school.

Then the exact number will be:

N = (58.82%/100%)*1700 = 1000

Around 1000 students would buy a school lunch.

The measure of an angle in standard position is given. Find two positive angles and two negative angles that are coterminal with
Pani-rosa [81]
Notice the picture below

negative angles, are just angles that go "clockwise", namely, the same direction a clock hands move hmmm so....  and one revolution is just 2π

now, you can have angles bigger than 2π of course, by simply keep going around, so, if you go around 3 times on the circle, say "counter-clockwise", or from right-to-left, counter as a clock goes, 3 times or 3 revolutions will give you an angle of 6π, because 2π+2π+2π is 6π

now... say... you have this angle here... let us find another that lands on that same spot

by simply just add 2π to it :)  

\bf \cfrac{7}{6}+2=\cfrac{19}{6}\qquad thus\qquad \cfrac{7\pi} {6}+2\pi =\cfrac{19\pi }{6}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{19\pi }{6}\impliedby co-terminal\ angle

now, that's a positive one
and  \bf \cfrac{7}{6}-2=-\cfrac{5}{6}\qquad thus\qquad \cfrac{7\pi} {6}-2\pi =-\cfrac{5\pi }{6}
\\\\\\
-\cfrac{5\pi }{6}\impliedby \textit{is also a co-terminal angle}

to get more, just keep on subtracting or adding 2π

Ths phrase that represents the algebraic expression (3p + 6)/(7p - 9) will be D. the sum of three times a number and six divided by the difference of seven times the number and nine.

<h3>How to illustrate the algebra?</h3>

It should be noted that an algebra is simply used to show the relationship between variables.

Here, the phrase that represents the algebraic expression (3p + 6)/(7p - 9) will be the sum of three times a number and six divided by the difference of seven times the number and nine.

In conclusion, the correct option is D.

(7x+2)° = (9x–8)°

=>7x –9x = –8–2

=> –2x = –10

=> x = 10/2

=> x = 5

<ADB = (7x+2)°

= 7×5+2

= 37°

<BDC = (9x–8)°

= 9×5–8

= 45 –8

= 37°

<ADC = 37° + 37°

= 74°
