Answer:

Number of students in vans =15 and bus =46

Step-by-step explanation:

use variables for the vans and buses

let x= vans and y=buses

Now solve the 2 equations simultaneously

<em><u>remember</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>to</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>number</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>your</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>equations</u></em>

6x+7y=412..........1

6x+9y=504.........2

make x the subject of one equation

and label it equation 3

6x=412—7y

x =  \frac{206}{3}  -  \frac{7y}{6} .............3

subs 3 into 2

6( \frac{206}{3}  -  \frac{7y}{6} ) + 9y = 504

412 - 7y + 9y = 504

- 7y + 9y = 504 - 412

2y = 92

y = 46...................4

subs 4 into 1

6x + 7(46) = 412

6x + 322 = 412

6x = 412 - 322

6x = 90

x = 15

Therefore there are 15 students in each van and 46 students in each bus.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

A. △ABC and △JKL are similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since three angles of one triangle are congruent to three corresponding angles of the other triangle, the triangles are either congruent or similar. Since the side of one triangle is twice the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle, then the triangles are not congruent, but they are similar.

A. △ABC and △JKL are similar.

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

0.726 < p < 0.874

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 64/83 = about 0.8

confidence interval = p +- z \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n} }

= 0.8 +- (1.64 x 0.04472)

= 0.8 +- 0.073343

= (0.726656 and 0.873343)

0.726 < p < 0.874

8 people have to give a presentation in class today how many different orders can they speak in
kaheart [24]

Answer: 40,320

Step-by-step explanation:

By Permutation,

The number of arrangements for n things is given by n!.

[Here order matters]

Given: Number of people will give a presentation in class  =8

Then, the number of different orders = 8!

= 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

= 40320

Hence,  the number of different orders = 40,320
