Answer:

80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the number of persons that had fish be x and chicken be y

so

12x+9y=2544------------------1

x+y= 232------------------------2

from 2

x= 232-y

substitute the value of x in 1

12(232-y)+9y=2544

2784-12y+9y=2544

2784-3y=2544

3y= 2784-2544

3y=240

y= 240/3

y=80

put y= 80 in 2

x+80= 232

x= 232-80

x=152

Hence 80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

so old triangle we have  1/2 x b x h = 48

new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
 so we would get:

1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area

rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area

divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2

so new area = 3/2 x old area

new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches

he books in a private library are classified as fiction and nonfiction. There are 400 books in the library. There are 40 more fi
vfiekz [6]
First, you have to set a system of equations to determine the number of fiction and of nonfiction books.Call f the number of fiction books and n the number of nonfiction books. Then 400 = f + n. And f = n + 40 => n = f - 40 => 400 = f + f - 40 => 400 - 40 = 2f => f = 360 / 2 = 180. Now to find the probability of picking two fiction books, take into account the the Audrey will pick from 180 fiction books out of 400, and Ryan will pick from 179 fiction books out of 399, so the probability will be<span> (180/ 400) * (179/399) = 0.20 (rounded to two decimals). Answer: 0.20</span>
