7 0

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of children be 2x, then number of adults be 3x

Total number is 5x

Let number of children under 10 be 7y, number of children be 3y,

then total number of children is 10y

so 2x = 10y, x = 5y, y/x = 1/5

younger children = children under 10, number is 7y

so the % is 7y/5x = 7/5 * y/x = 7/5 * 1/5 = 7/25 = 28/100 = 28%

The work of a student to find the dimensions of a rectangle of area 8 + 12x and width 4 is shown below:
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step 2: 4(2) + 4(3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:

Area = Length × Width

In this case, we know that:

Area = 8 + 12x

Width = 4

Therefore:

Step 1: 8 + 12x

Step 2: 4(2) + (4)(3x)

Step 3: 4(2 + 3x)

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are 4 and 2 + 3x.

The mistake was made in STEP 2. Instead of 4(2) + 4(x2) it should be  4(2) + 4(3x). Which is the second option.

A square base of a pyramid has dimensions 5 yards by 5 yards. The height of one of the triangular faces is 12 yards. How can you
siniylev [52]

A square pyramid has 4 triangles and the square base.

Calculate the area of one triangle, multiply that by 4 then add the area of the base.

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 5 x 12 = 30 square yards.

30 x 4 = 120 square yards

Area of base = 5 x 5 = 25 square yards

Total = 120 + 25 = 145 square yards.
