Students in a school are asked to pick either football, rugby or tennis to play in their lessons. the number of students who picked football and rugby are in the ratio of 4:3 the number of students who picked rugby and tennis in the ratio of 9:19 57 students picked tennis work out how many student picked football

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 36 Students picked football

Step-by-step explanation: When calculating values by the use of given ratios, it is important to note that the ratio of one value as compared to the other is the same as the actual value compared to the other.

The ratio of students who picked rugby and tennis is given as ratio 9 : 19, which means for every 28 students (that was derived by 9 + 19), 9 would choose rugby and 19 would choose tennis. However, we have been given the total number of students who chose tennis as 57, hence the value 57 would now replace the ratio of 19. However the total number of those who chose rugby is not yet known, so we can write out an equation as shown below;

19/28 = t/x

Where t is the number of tennis players as represented by ratio 19 and x is the total number of both tennis and rugby players as represented by 28.

By cross multiplication we now have

19 * x = 28 * 57

x = (28 * 57)/19

x = 1596/19

x = 84

If a total of 84 students play both rugby and tennis, and 57 of them play only tennis, then the number of rugby players is derived as

r = x - t

r = 84 - 57

r = 27

Having determined that 27 students played rugby, and the ratio of football to rugby players is given as 4 : 3, the relationship can be mathematically represented as follows;

3/7 = r/y

Where r is the total number of rugby players and y is the total number of both football and rugby players

3/7 = 27/y

By cross multiplication you now have

3 * y = 7 * 27

y = (7 * 27)/3

y = 189/3

y = 63

If the total number of football and rugby players is 63 and out of these 27 play rugby only, then the number of football players is derived as;

f = y - r

f = 63 - 27

f = 36

Therefore the number of students who chose football is 36

True or false: the set of whole numbers is equal to the set of natural numbers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is false.

The set of whole numbers include the set of Natural numbers "N" = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}, the set of the negatives of the natural numbers: {-1, -2, -3, -4,...}, and the zero: {0}

Sammy wants to deposit into a 7% annual simple interest account she will also deposit twice as much in a certificate of deposit earning 5% annual simple interest to earn $390 of annual interest how much should she invest in each account?​

Answers

Answer: $2294 should be invested in the simple interest account while $4588 should be invested in the certificate of deposit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that he would deposit in the simple interest account.

Let y represent the amount that he would deposit in the certificate of deposit.

she will deposit twice as much in the certificate of deposit. It means that

y = 2x

Interest from the simple interest account would be 7%. This mean that the interest would be 7/100 × x = $0.07x

Interest from the certificate of deposit account would be 5%. This mean that the interest would be 5/100 × y = $0.05y.

The total interest from both accounts would be $390. It means that

0.07x + 0.05y = 390- - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

0.07x + 0.05 × 2x = 390

0.07x + 0.1x = 390

0.17x = 390

x = 390/0.17 = $2294

y = 2x = 2 × 2294

y = 4588

If BE is a diameter of the circle, find
MAB
A. 400
B 50°
C. 75
D 80

Answers

Answer:

B 50˚

Step-by-step explanation:

What you want to do is to find all other measures and subtract them from 360, or find all measures to the left of BE, and subtract from 180.

You can find mCE easily: since the measure of an arc is twice the measure of its corresponding angle (as long as that angle is not a central angle), mCE = 2(25), or 50˚.

mDE equals 100˚. This is because it and arc BD are the only arcs right of BE, the diameter, meaning they, together, must equal half the circle. Since half a circle = 180˚,

180˚=80˚+x

x=180-80

x=100

Now, you can solve:

Method 1:

360˚=80˚+80˚+50˚+100˚+x

360-80-80-50-100=x

x=50˚

Method 2:

180˚=80˚+50˚+x

x=180-80-50

x=50˚

This corresponds to answer choice B.

Divide 140 in the ratio 1:2:7

Answers

Answer:14:28:98

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide a value by a ratio, we first find the total number of parts:

1+2+7 = 10

Then, we divide the value by the number of parts and multiply it by the number of parts in each section of the ratio:

140 divided by 10 = 14.

Part 1: 14 x 1 = 14

Part 2: 14 x 2 = 28

Answer:

There are 6 ways to run 10 m between two cones of the four cones giving a maximum available distance to run as 60 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are

Distance between two cones = 10 m

Number of cones = 4

Therefore, number of ways to choose two 10 m distances (distance between two cones) from the four cones = [tex]\binom{4}{2}[/tex] = 6

Hence there are only six 10 m distances to run between two cones which gives a maximum distance available to run as 60 m.

B. x = 30 and x = -4
C. x = -30 and x = 4
D. x = 32 and x = 0

Answers

The answer is D. x = 32 and x = 0

Answer: D. x = 32 and x = 0

============================================================

Explanation:

Think of x-16 as y. In other words, let y = x-16

We have (x-16)^2 = 256 become y^2 = 256.

Solve for y to get y = 16 or y = -16. You apply the square root to both sides. Don't forget about the plus/minus. This is because (-16)^2 = (-16)*(-16) = 256. We square the negative as well.

--------

If y = 16, then y = x-16 solves for x to get

y = x-16

16 = x-16

x-16 = 16

x = 16+16

x = 32 is one solution

---------

Plug in y = -16 and isolate x

y = x-16

x-16 = y

x-16 = -16

x = -16+16

x = 0 is the other solution

----------

We can check each answer by plugging them back into the original equation

Let's try x = 0

(x-16)^2 = 256

(0-16)^2 = 256

(-16)^2 = 256

256 = 256 ... works

Now try x = 32

(x-16)^2 = 256

(32-16)^2 = 256

(16)^2 = 256

256 = 256 ... also works; both answers have been confirmed

The slope of the rafter is 15 m.Half the run of the rafter measure 12m.find the height of the ridge from the base

Answers

Answer:

[tex]9\; \rm m[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the run of this rafter is level. Then the height of the ridge (the line with a question mark next to it in the diagram) should be perpendicular to the line marked with [tex]\rm 12\; m[/tex]. The three labelled lines in this diagram will form a right triangle.

The line marked as [tex]15\; \rm m[/tex] will be the hypotenuse of this right triangle.The line marked as [tex]12\; \rm m[/tex] will be one of the triangle's legs.The line representing the height of the ridge (the one with the question mark) will be the other leg of this right triangle.

Hence, the height of this ridge can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem. By the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex](\text{First Leg})^2 + (\text{Second Leg})^2 = (\text{Hypotenuse})^2[/tex].

In this particular right triangle:

[tex](\text{Height})^2 + (12\; \rm m)^2 = (15\; \rm m)^2[/tex].

[tex](\text{Height})^2 = (15\; \rm m)^2 - (12\; \rm m)^2[/tex].

Therefore, the height of this ridge would be [tex]\sqrt{81}\; \rm m = 9\; \rm m[/tex]. (Note the unit.)

Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will happen.

When dealing with probability, the outcomes of a process are the possible results. For example, when a die is rolled, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. In mathematical language, an event is a set of outcomes, which describe what outcomes correspond to the "event" happening. For instance, "rolling an even number" is an event that corresponds to the set of outcomes {2, 4, 6}. The probability of an event, like rolling an even number, is the number of outcomes that constitute the event divided by the total number of possible outcomes. We call the outcomes in an event its "favorable outcomes".
