For every adult, there must be at least one student.
let x be student, let y be adult

y = 2x

y + x = 240
5x + 10y = maximum amount.

plug in 2x for y

2x + x = 240

3x = 240

3x/3 = 240/3

x = 240/3

x = 80

There are 80 students, and 160 adults.

160 adults = $1600
80 students = $400

This will generate a total of $2000 dollars

160 adults, 80 students should be your answer

hope this helps

Abby caught a fish that was 10 3/8 inches long. Brandon caught a fish that was 8 5/8 inches long. How much longer was Abby's fis

Vilka [71]

what you do is take 5 away from 3. No! Borrow 1 Whole (9) and makes it 9 13/8 - 8 5/8 then subtract the 2 fractions

$\frac{13}{8} - \frac{5}{8} ...$

and that is

$\frac{8}{8}$

then convert that into 1 whole. Now add the whole to the 9 and thats 10. Now, subtract the 2 whole numbers. 10-8=2 so the answer is 2

Alberto ran a race at a speed of 9 meters per second. Omar had a 6 meter head start and ran at a speed of 7 meters per second. B

zloy xaker [14]

Answer: Alberto run 27 meters.

Time taken By Alberto=3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the distance Alberto ran to catch Omar.

Then, distance ran by Omar=x-6

Also, $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Since, both started running at the same time.

Time taken By Alberto= $\frac{x}{9}$

Time taken By Omar= $\frac{x-6}{7}$

Now, at the point they meet time taken by both is equal.

$\frac{x}{9}=\frac{x-6}{7}\\\Rightarrow\ 7x=9(x-6)\\\Rightarrow7x=9x-54\\\Rightarrow9x-7x=54\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=54\\\Rightarrow\ x=27$

Hence, Alberto run 27 meters.

Time taken By Alberto= $\frac{27}{9}$ =3 seconds
