In RSM camp, there are four counselors for every fifty seven students and three teachers for every five counselors.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Students : Counselors : Teachers = 285: 20 : 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In the camp, the ratio of:

( C: S ) Counselors : Students is 4 : 57

( T: C ) Teachers : Counselors is 3 : 5

To determine the ratio of - Students : Counselors : Teachers

Here given - C : S = 4 : 57

Multiplying both sides by 5, we get

C: S = 4 x 5 : 57 x 5 = 20 : 285

So, for every 20 counselors, there are 285 students ...... (1)

Similarly, given Teachers : Counselors is 3 : 5

Multiplying both sides by 4, we get

T : C = 3 x 4 : 5 x 4 = 12 : 20

So, for every 12 teachers, there are 20 Counselors ...... (2)

Hence, in both equation 1 and 2 the number of counselors is same = 20 .

Hence, both the ratios acne be combined.

So we get C : S = 20 : 285 and T : C = 12: 20

Inverting the values

⇒ S : C = 285 : 20 and C : T = 20 : 12

or, S : C : T = 285: 20 : 12

or, Students : Counselors : Teachers = 285: 20 : 12

Hence, for every 285 students there are 20 counselors and 12 teachers.

The formula s = StartRoot StartFraction S A Over 6 EndFraction EndRoot gives the length of the side, s, of a cube with a surface

never [62]

Answer:

$2\sqrt{2}\ ft\ longer$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area Of A Cube </u>

Suppose a cube with side length s, the area of one side is

$A_s=s^2$

Since the cube has 6 sides, the total area is

$A=6A_s=6s^2$

But if we have the area, we can solve the above formula for s to get

$A=6s^2$

$\displaystyle s=\sqrt{\frac{A}{6}}$

We have two different cubes with areas 1,200 square inches and 768 square inches. Let's compute their side lengths

$\displaystyle s_1=\sqrt{\frac{1,200}{6}}=\sqrt{200}$

$\displaystyle s_1=10\sqrt{2}\ ft$

$\displaystyle s_2=\sqrt{\frac{768}{6}}=\sqrt{128}$

$\displaystyle s_2=8\sqrt{2} ft$

The difference between them is

$10\sqrt{2}\ ft-8\sqrt{2}\ ft=2\sqrt{2}\ ft\approx 2.83\ ft$

The side of the cube with area 1,200 square inches is $2\sqrt{2}\ ft$ longer then the side of the cube with area 768 square inches
