On a certain hot summer's day, 694 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $ 1.25 for children and $ 2.50 fo

r adults. The receipts for admission totaled $ 1257.50 . How many children and how many adults swam at the public pool that day?

Answer:

382 children and

312 adults swam

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children be x

And let the number of adult be y

Hence on a hot summer day

x +y = 694 - - - - - - - 1

x= 694-y

Also the daily prices are $ 1.25 for children and $ 2.50 for adults

1.25x + 2.50y= 1257.50-------2

Let us substitute x= 694-y in equation 2

1.25(694-y) + 2.50y =1257.50

867.5-1.25y +2.50y = 1257.50

-1.25y+2.50y= 1257.58-867.5

1.25y= 390

y= 398/1.25

y= 312

Substitute y= 312 in equation 1 to find x

x + 312= 694

x= 694-312

x= 382

Hence 382 children and

312 adults swam

A builder wants to build the bridge whose cross section is shown in the diagram. Two companies offer simple bids on building the

leva [86]

The length of the bridge is the distance from the beginning to the end.

<em>The distance b between each beam is 9ft.</em>

Let:

<em /> $I \to$ <em> I-Beam</em>

<em /> $d_I \to$ <em> distance between I beam and the bridge</em>

<em /> $b \to$ <em> distance between each I beam</em>

<em />

Given that:

$I = \frac 34 ft\\$

$d_I = 3 ft$

<em /> $Length = 55ft\ 6in$ <em> --- length of the bridge</em>

<em />

From the diagram (see attachment), there are: 6 I-beams.

So, the length of the 6 I-beams is:

$L_1 = 6 \times I$

$L_1 = 6 \times \frac 34$

$L_1 = \frac {18}4$

$L_1 = 4.5ft$

There are 2 I-beams beside the bridge

So, the distance between the 2 I-beams and the bridge is:

$d_1 =2 \times d_I$

$d_1 =2 \times 3ft$

$d_1 =6ft$

There are 5 spaces between the I-beams

So, the length of the total spaces is:

$L_2 = 5 \times b$

$L_2 = 5b$

The total length is:

$Length = L_1 + d_1 + L_2$

So, we have:

$4.5ft + 6ft + 5b = 55ft\ 6in$

Collect like terms

$5b = 55ft\ 6in - 4.5ft - 6ft$

$5b = 44.5ft\ 6in$

Convert inches to feet

$5b = 44.5ft\ + \frac{6}{12}ft$

$5b = 44.5ft\ + 0.5ft$

$5b = 45ft$

Divide both sides by 5

$b = 9ft$

<em>Hence, the distance (b) between each beam is 9ft.</em>

Please help me on this

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinate of O(2,1),Y(3,-2),T(-3,-3)

let the reflected points are O',Y',T'

distance of O from y=2 is 1 unit.

∴ ordinate of O' =1+2(1)=3

or O' is (2,3)

distance of Y from y=2 is2+2=4

ordinate of Y'=-2+2(4)=6

so coordinate of Y' is (3,6)

distance of T from y=2 is (2+3)=5

so ordinate of T' =-3+2(5)=7

coordinate of T' is(-3,7)
