Answer:

Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all of the seniors and none of the freshmen voted for it.

Some of the juniors and some of the sophomores voted for the proposal and some voted against it.

If the proposal was to be adopted then a simple of majority of votes should have been cast.

Since all seniors voted for it, and no freshmen number of freshmen has to be less than seniors then only majority would have voted.

Regarding juniors and sophomores we assume some voted and some against thus approximately nullifying their votes.

So the correct option would be

a. There are more seniors than freshmen on the council.

Option b wrong since only some voted for it.

C is wrong because actual seniors were not given.

D is wrong because while seniors voted for sophomores voted against.

e is wrong since sophomores and freshmen nullified each other

mixer [17]

The vehicle be able to cover the full distance of 340km with on petrol tank if the petrol usage is 14 km/1.

Since the vehicles petrol tank has a capacity of 40 litres and the bvehicles wants to cover a distance of 340 with a pertol usage of 14 km/l.

We need to determine if the petrol in the tank will be enough to cover that distance.

<h3>Distance</h3>

So, distance = petrol usage × volume of tank

Since

  • petrol usage = 14 km/l and
  • volume of tank = 40 l,

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

distance = petrol usage × volume of tank

distance = 14 km/l × 40 l

distance = 560 km

Since the distance covered = 560 km which is greater than 340 km, the vehicle will be able to cover the full distance.

So, the vehicle be able to cover the full distance of 340km with on petrol tank if the petrol usage is 14 km/1.

Which mixed number is greater 5 7/24 or 5 5/16
Sauron [17]
5 5/16 is greater.
You can find that out by dividing 5/16 and 7/24
So that gives .31 and .29
Thus, 5 5/16 are greater
