Answer:
The time (t) it takes to clean an office building is <em><u>directly</u></em> <em><u>related</u></em> to the number of people (p) working.
t is proportional to p
Answer:
92 attendees had activity cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of students with activity cards. Then 130-x is the number without, and the total revenue is ...
7x +10(130 -x) = 1024
7x +1300 -10x = 1024 . . . . eliminate parentheses
-3x = -276 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms; subtract 1300
x = 92 . . . . . . divide by 3
92 students with activity cards attended the dance.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
Often, you will see such a problem solved using two equations. For example, they might be ...
Let 'a' represent the number with an activity card; 'w' the number without. Then ...
- a+w = 130 . . . . the total number of students
- 7a +10w = 1024 . . . . the revenue from ticket sales
The problem statement asks for the value of 'a', so you want to eliminate w from these equations. You can do that using substitution. Using the first equation to write an expression for w, you have ...
w = 130-a
and making the substitution into the second equation gives ...
7a +10(130 -a) = 1024
This should look a lot like the equation we used above. There, we skipped the extra variable and went straight to the single equation we needed to solve.
Umm, I need the numbers that are given but I can give you examples. It can be 5 1/6 or like 5 4/9
The whole number needs to be bigger
I don't know a lot about math
