Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

last year 1/5 of the class played sports, so s = (1/5) c

the next year, s increased by 5, c increased by 10 and the fraction changed to 1/4, so for the next year (s+5) = (1/4)(c+10)

To solve this we can substitute s = (1/5)c from the first equation into the second, so

((1/5)c + 5)=(1/4)(c+10), simplify both sides

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 10/4, simplify 10/4 to 5/2

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 5/2, multiply both sides by 20 to eliminate fractions (least common multiple of 2, 4 and 5)

4c + 100 = 5c + 50, subtract 4c, subtract 50 from both sides

50 = c, number of students in class last year was 50, this year is 10 more, so this year is 60

68.64 divided by 2.4 SHOW WORK PLEASE
34kurt

Answer:28.6

I started by seeing how many 2.4 can go into 68.64. I found that it is pretty easy to find that if you multiply the 2.4 by ten you get 24 so we do that twice and have 48. We then subtract 48 from the 68.64 which leaves us with 20.64. If we multiply 2.4 by 5 we get 12 so once again subtract 12 from that 20.64 and now we are left with 8.64. So now we need to figure out how many more 2.4 are left well it is more than three because three gives us 7.2 so let’s subtract that from it now we are left with 1.44. Now we need to find out what times 2.4 gives us 1.44. Well it would be .6. So now if we add up everything we get the answer of 28.6. Sorry if this very complicated
