New York City is a popular feild trip destination. This year the senior
class at High School A and the senior class at High School B both
planned trips there. The senior class at High School A rented and filled
8 vans and 4 buses with 220 students. High School B rented and filled 12 vans and 4 buses with 228 students. Every van had the same
number of students in it as did the buses. How many students can a
van carry? How many students can a bus carry?​

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: look so if you have

shcool A its 8v+4b=12

and

School B: 12v+4b= 16

since both classes used 4 busses we can use elimination by subtracting the A class Equation from the b class equation to solve from v for its value Then, use either equation and the now found value for v to solve for b.

You should find part of the process to be

12v+4b-(8v+4b)=12-16 which shows the van holds only a few people even before continuing the solution.

The three-dimensional figure shown consists of a cylinder and a right circular cone. The radius of the base is 10 centimeters. The height of the cylinder is 16 centimeters, and the total height of the figure is 28 centimeters. The slant height of the cone is 13 centimeters. Which choice is the best approximation of the surface area of the figure? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

Answers

Answer:

2,041 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

surface area = (2 × π × r × h) + ((π × r) × (r+ (√(c² + r²))))+(π × r²)

where,

cylinder  base radius (r) = 10  cm

height of cylinder (h) = 16 cm

total height = 28 cm

cone height (c) = total height - height of cylinder = 28 - 16 = 12cm

π = 3.14

surface area = (2 × 3.14 × 10 × 16) + ((3.14 × 10) × (10+ (√(12² + 10²))))+(3.14 × 10²)

surface area = 1004.8 + (31.4 * 25.6) + 314

surface area = 2122.64 cm²

therefore the approximate surface area given is 2,041 square centimeters

A line passes through point (4,-3) and has a slope of 5/4. Write an equation in Ax + By = C

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

5x - 4y = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation of a line using a point and slope use the formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where

m is the slope

(x1 , y1) is the point

So we have

Equation of the line using point (4 , -3) and slope 5/4 is

[tex]y + 3 = \frac{5}{4} (x - 4)[/tex]

Multiply through by 4

4y + 12 = 5(x - 4)

4y + 12 = 5x - 20

5x - 4y = 20 + 12

The final answer is

5x - 4y = 32

If area of a rhombus is 336 cm and one of its diagonal is 14 cm, find its perimeter.

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter of the Rhombus is 100 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will need to find the length of the other diagonal.

let’s call the diagonals p and q

Mathematically, the area of the Rhombus is;

pq/2 = Area of Rhombus.

Let’s call the missing diagonal p

So;

(p * 14)/2 = 336

14p = 672

p = 672/14

p = 48 cm

Now, we can find the perimeter of the Rhombus using these diagonals.

Mathematically;

P = 2 √(p^2 + q^2)

Substituting these values, we have;

P = 2 √(14)^2 + (48^2)

P = 2 √(2500)

P = 2 * 50

P = 100 cm

The perimeter of the rhombus is the sum of its side lengths

The perimeter of the Rhombus is 100 cm

The length of one of its diagonal is given as:

[tex]p= 14[/tex]

And the area is given as:

[tex]A = 336[/tex]

Assume the other diagonal is q.

The area of the rhombus is represented as:

[tex]A = \frac{pq}2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]336 = \frac{14q}2[/tex]

This gives

[tex]336 = 7q[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7

[tex]48 = q[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]q = 48[/tex]

The perimeter (P) of the rhombus is calculated as:

[tex]P =2\sqrt{p^2 + q^2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P =2\sqrt{48^2 + 14^2[/tex]

Evaluate the squares

[tex]P =2\sqrt{2500[/tex]

Take positive root of 2500

[tex]P =2 \times 50[/tex]

[tex]P =100[/tex]

Hence, the perimeter of the Rhombus is 100 cm

Complete question:

One researcher wishes to estimate the mean number of hours that high school students spend watching TV on a weekday. A margin of error of 0.28 hours is desired. Past studies suggest that a population standard deviation of 1.5 hours is reasonable. Estimate the minimum sample size required to estimate the population mean with the stated accuracy.

Answer:

111 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Margin of Error (E) = 0.28

Population standard deviation (sd) = 1.5

Recall:

Margin of Error(E) = Z * (sd/√n)

Taking a confidence interval of 95%

The Z value at a 95% confidence interval is 1.96

Plugging our values, we have :

Margin of Error(E) = Z * (sd/√n)

0.28 = 1.96 * (1.5/√n)

0.28 = 2.94 / √n

√n × 0.28 = 2.94

√n = 2.94 / 0.28

√n = 10.5

Square both sides to obtain n

n = 10.5^2

n = 110.25

day?

Answers

Answer:

30 crayons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of crayons he started with

gave out 14 crayons

x-14

Got 12 back

x-14+12

Gave out 11 after lunch

x-14+12 -11

This equals 17

x-14+12 -11 =17

x-13 = 17

Add 13 to each side

x -13+13 =17+13

x = 30

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem work backwards. Start from 17 and add 14. You should get 31. Then subtract 12, which equals 19. Finally add 11 to 19, which equals 30. Basically you are doing the inverse operation to get your answer. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Nina can run:

13 1/2 km in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

4 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 8/2 + 1/2 = 9/2

proportions:

9/2 hours ⇔  1/3 hour

N hours ⇔ 1 hour

N = (9/2)*1 / (1/3)

N = (9/2) / (1/3)

N = (9*3) / (2*1)

N = 27/2

27/2 = 26/2 + 1/2 = 13 + 1/2 = 13 1/2

Nina can run:

13 1/2 km/h

13 1/2 km in 1 hour

Nina can run [tex]13\frac{1}{2}[/tex] km in an hour

The distance Nina can run in an hour can be determined by dividing the distance she can run in 1/3 of an hour by 1/3

∠CBA = ∠DCB

∠CBA = 65°

4) As ABCD is isosceles trapezium, non parallel sides are congruent.

AB = DC

It was a rank wild growth, with many green leaves on it still, and made an impression of thorniness. The fruit was hard and green, but looked as if it would be palatable in the winter. Some was dangling on the twigs, but more half-buried in the wet leaves under the tree, or rolled far down the hill amid the rocks. The owner knows nothing of it. The day was not observed when it first blossomed, nor when it first bore fruit, unless by the chickadee. There was no dancing on the green beneath it in its honor, and now there is no hand to pluck its fruit,which is only gnawed by squirrels, as I perceive. It has done double duty,not only borne this crop, but each twig has grown a foot into the air. And this is such fruit! Bigger than many berries, we must admit, and carried home will be sound and palatable next spring. What care I for other apples so long as I can get these? 2 When I go by this shrub thus late and hardy, and see its dangling fruit, I respect the tree, and I am grateful for Natures bounty, even though I cannot eat it. Here on this rugged and woody hillside has grown an apple-tree, not planted by man, no relic of a former orchard, but a natural growth, like the pines and oaks. Most fruits which we prize and use depend entirely on our care. Corn and grain, potatoes, peaches, melons, etc., depend altogether on our planting; but the apple emulates mans independence and enterprise. It is not simply carried, as I have said, but, like him, to some extent, it has migrated to this New World, and is even, here and there, making its way amid the aboriginal trees; just as the ox and dog and horse sometimes run wild and maintain themselves. 3 Even the sourest and crabbedest apple, growing in the most unfavorable position, suggests such thoughts as these, it is so noble a fruit. Excerpt from "Wild Apples" by Henry David Thoreau. In the public domain. I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam, The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work, 5The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck, The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands, The wood-cutters song, the ploughboys on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown, The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing, Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else, 10The day what belongs to the dayat night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs. "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman, from Leaves of Grass. In the public domain. Question 1 Which sentence BEST states the authors point of view regarding people who are ambitious?
