Answer:

<u>22 counselors</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Ratio of campers to counselors in june:</u>

number of campers: 325

number of counselors: 26

Ratio = number of campers / number of counselors

Ratio = 325 campers / 26 counselors

<u />

<u>2. Ratio of campers to counselors in july:</u>

number of campers = 325 - 265 + 215 = 275

number of counselors = x (unknown)

Ratio = 275 campers / x

<u />

<u>3. Equivalent ratios:</u>

325 campers / 26 counselors = 275 campers / x

Solve for x:

x = (26counselors/325campers) × 275campers = 22 counselors ← answer

Joe wants to enlarge the rectangular pumpkin patch located on his farm. The pumpkin patch is currently 40 meters wide and 60 met

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The area of new pumpkin patch is $Area_2$ = 15 x² + 380 x + 2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of rectangular patch = L = 40 meters

The width of rectangular patch = W = 60 meters

So, The area of rectangular patch = Length × Width

Or, $Area_1$ = L × W

So , $Area_1$ = 40 meters × 60 meters

Or, $Area_1$ = 2400 meters²

Again The Width of new Patch = ( 40 + 3 x ) meter

And The Length of new Patch = ( 60 + 5 x ) meter

Or, $Area_2$ = L × W

So , $Area_2$ = ( 40 + 3 x ) meters × ( 60 + 5 x ) meters

Or, $Area_2$ = 2400 + 200 x + 180 x + 15 x²

Or, $Area_2$ = 15 x² + 380 x + 2400

Hence The area of new pumpkin patch is $Area_2$ = 15 x² + 380 x + 2400 Answer

Given the formula b=rs/t solve for s

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

$s = \frac{bt}{r}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for s, you need to follow these steps.

First multiply by t both sides of the equation.

$b = \frac{rs}{t}$

$bt = \frac{rst}{t}$

We get $bt = rs$

Now we divide by r, both sides of the equation.

$\frac{bt}{r} = \frac{rs}{r}$

Finallly we obtain:

$\frac{bt}{r} = s$ or

$s = \frac{bt}{r}$
