Answer:

  • 71 in House of Representatives
  • 17 in Senate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...

  h + s = 88

  h - s = 54

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)

  2s = 34 . . . . . simplify

  s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation

There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.

Rewrite the fraction as a decimal. -82/5
dlinn [17]
You can just multiply the top and the bottom by 2, to get the bottom to be 10. So you get -164/10. From here you can see that 10 goes into 164,16.4 times. 

Therefore, -82/5 = -16.4

A quantity with an initial value of 160 grows continuously at a rate of 0.65% per hour.
dangina [55]

Answer:

167.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we write out the general form for an exponential equation;

y = I (1 + r)^n

where y is the current value which we want to calculate

I is the initial value which is 160

r is the growth rate = 0.65% = 0.65/100 = 0.0065

402 minutes to hours will be 402/60 = 6.7 hours which is n

Substituting these values, we have

y = 160( 1 + 0.0065)^6.7

y = 160(1.0065)^6.7

y = 167.10
