I think this is right.
Maybe just wait till someone else answers just to makae sure this is exactly the right answer.
Answer:
33 feet
22 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the longer piece be x
Therefore the shorter piece is (2/3)x
x + (2/3)x = 55 Combine the left 2 terms.
(3/3)x + (2/3)x = 55 Add
(5/3)x = 55 Multiply both sides by (3/5)
(3/5) * (5/3)x = (3/5)*55
x = 33
The larger piece is 33 feet
The smaller piece is (2/3) * 33 = 22 feet
-1/2(-4/5)
Multiply the numerators by each other and do the same for the denominators.
That is:
-1(-4)=4
And 2*5=10
Now we have 4/10
Divide the numerator and the denominator by 2 to get 2/5 which is the simplest form.
Hope this helped.
Answer:
465
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of girls at the festival be--------- g
Let the number of boys at the festival be---------b
The conditions are;
2/7 g = 3/5 b ---------------(i)
g-b= 165 ---------------------(ii)---------make g the subject of the expression
g= 165 +b---------------------(iii)--------use this equation in (i)
2/7 (165 +b)= 3/5 b -------multiply both sides by 7
7*2/7(165+b) =3/5*7 b
2(165+b)=21/5 b ------multiply both sides by 5
5*2(165+b) = 21/5*5*b
10(165+b) = 21 b -------open brackets
1650 +10 b = 21 b------collect like terms
1650 = 21 b- 10 b
1650 = 11 b -----divide both sides by 11
1650/11 = 11b/11
150 = b = number of boys
Using equation (ii) where g-b =165 ; g-150 =165 , g= 165+150 =315 number of girls
Total number of children at the festival = 150+315 =465
