Answer:

40 students gave their speeches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime in math that it says the word "of" it means multiplication. So, in this situation, we are multiplying:

(5/8) x 64.

But, when you are multiplying a fraction by a number, you are actually dividing instead of multiplying. Think of it this way: the question is asking you 5/8 of 64, meaning you must find how many is 5/8 of the amount of students that gave their speeches is. Also, that slash between the 5 and the 8 in the fraction is actually a division symbol. So, by placing 5/8 into 64, we get:

(5/8) x 64 = 40.

I'm quite sure why it asked for "simplest form" when the answer is not a decimal or fraction, but this is the answer to the problem that you have posted.

I hope that this helps.

Here we have some problems about circles, the solutions are:

a) 490.6 yd^2
b) x = 15
c) x = 27

<h3>How to find the area of a circle?</h3>

We know that for a circle of diameter D, the area is given by:

A = pi*(D/2)^2

where pi = 3.14

In the image we can see that the diameter of the circle is 25 yd, replacing that in the area equation we get:

A = 3.14*(25yd/2)^2 = 490.6 yd^2

<h3>How to find the value of x?</h3>

For the second image, each line creates two 180° angles. So, if we look at the tilted line, we can see that it is divided in two angles, one of 37° and the other that depends of x, so we can write:

180° = 37° + (9x + 8)°

180° - 37° - 8° = (9x)°

135°/9° = x = 15

So the value of x is 15.

For the last image:

Notice that we have a 90° angle denoted, then the other 3 sections must add up to 270°.

270° = 54° + (2x + 21)° + (5x + 6)°

Now we solve this for x:

270 - 54 - 21 - 6 = 2x + 5x

189 = 7x

189/7 = x = 27

x is equal to 27

Work out the value of x

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

117 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So we already know that one angle is 38 degrees, so we have that one. The angle, 101 is exterior, and we have to subtract 180 from that to get the interior angle. We get a difference of 79. Since the sum of a triangle's interior angles are 180, we have to add 38+79 to get 117. Then, we have to subtract it from 180 to get the value of the interior angle as 63 degrees. Because x is on the outside, we have to again subtract 63 from 180 to get the missing value of x as 117.
