584 is the total number of students in the school.
5/8 are in seventh grade and 3/8 are in eighth grade.
4/5 of the seventh graders participated in the track meet, so there were (4/5 · 5/8) · 584 students in the seventh grade participating in the track meet.
7/8 of the eighth graders participated, so there were (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 students in the eighth grade participating in the track meet.
So, all together, there were
(4/5 · 5/8) · 584 + (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 students from the school in the track meet.
Let's simplify as you asked:
(4/5 · 5/8) · 584 + (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 = [(4/5 · 5/8) + (7/8 · 3/8)] · 584 (distributive property - factoring)
= [20/40 + 21/64] · 584 (multiply fractions)
= (1/2 + 21/64) 584 (reduce the first fraction to lowest terms)
= (32/64 + 21/64) 584 (getting a common denominator)
= (53/64) 584 (combine/add the two fractions)
= 483.625 (multiply together)
All together, there were: 483.625 students in the meet.
Answer:
2/5 or 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
y2-y1/ x2-x1
y2=2, y1=0
x2=5, x1=0
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to know that in order to solve for the volume of a rectangular prism, we have to use this formula: l * w * h. This stands for length multiplied by width multiplied by height.
<u>Step 1</u>
Let's look at the numbers we already have. The height of the prism is 4 feet and the width is 5 feet. When we multiply them together, we got 20 feet.
<u>Step 2</u>
The volume of this prism adds up to 150 square feet. To find the length of this prism, we have to divide 150 by 20.
Our final answer: l = 7.5 feet
We can check our answer by multiplying all the numbers together.
4 * 5* 7.5 = 150
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
6(3 - 7x) = -192
Divide each side by 6
6/6(3 - 7x) = -192/6
3 - 7x = -32
Subtract 3 from each side
3-7x-3 = -32-3
-7x = -35
Divide each side by -7
-7x/-7 = -35/-7
x = 5
