People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x
y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280
So we have 280 people in the building.
check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women
so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!
hope this is right! have a great. day
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
comp = add up to be 90
3x + 14 + 2x + 6 = 90
5x + 20 = 90
5x = 70
x = 14
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The image A’B’C’ is scaled down by a factor of 1/3
set up a ratio to find the length:
15/12 = DE/16
cross multiply the 15 & 16:
15 * 16 = 240
divide that by 12 to get DE
240 / 12 = 20
DE = 20
REVISED ANSWER.
In the picture, I have drawn on the example given. the RC and PD are the same because They are across from each other perfectly. So the answer is still PD=400m but if there can be two answers then I would have to say another possiblity would be 200m for the diameter of the pond. The wording of this problem is tricky and the picture can throw you off a bit but I did my best to answer properly here.
So if you could mark brainliest that would be awesome.
