X number of male students
Y number of female students
Z number of the adults
X=(1 + 7)Z=8Z
Y= X/2
X +Y +Z = 82
8Z +8Z/2 +Z=82 implies Z=82/26=3.1
so we take Z= 3

X= 24
and Y = 12

Answer:

The length side of the pre-image is 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The length side of the image is equal to the length side of the pre-image multiplied by the scale factor

or

The length side of the pre-image is equal to the length side of the image divided by the scale factor

in this problem we have that

The scale factor is 1/2

The length side of the image is 8 units

therefore

8/(1/2)=16 units

The length side of the pre-image is 16 units

The height of two similar pails are 12cm and 8cm.The larger pail can hold 2litres. What is the capacity of the smaller pail?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

1.33 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is area and h is height

Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.

If 12cm equals 2 liters

8cm equals x

X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters

Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters

Mia’s work to find the slope of a trend line through the points (3, 10) and (35, 91) is shown below.
pochemuha
For this case the first thing you should know is that by definition the slope of the line is given by:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 Where we have two ordered pairs:
 P1 = (x1, y1)
 P2 = (x2, y2)
 We observe then that according to the formula, the error of mine was to invert the numerator with the denominator.
 Answer: 
 C: Mia switched the numerator and the denominator.
