1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE 5/24's PLEASE???

oee [108]

Answer:

(A)56.5^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached:

Angle 1 and Angle 6 are Co-Interior Angles.

The sum of co-interior angle is 180 degrees.

Therefore:

m\angle 1+ m\angle 6=180^\circ\\\\m\angle 6=123.5^\circ,$ therefore:\\m\angle 1+ 123.5^\circ=180^\circ\\m\angle 1=180^\circ-123.5^\circ\\m\angle 1=56.5^\circ

The measure of angle 1 is therefore 56.5 degrees.

The correct option is A.

Factor the polynomial completely using the X method. x2 + 13x – 48 An x-method chart shows the product a c at the top of x and b
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant term of x^2 + 13x – 48 factors into either (3)(-16) or (-3)(16).

Note how 16 - 3 = 13, which is the coefficient of the middle term.  Thus, the factors are

(x + 16)(x - 3) which is equivalent to x^2 + 16x - 3x - 48, or x^2 + 13x - 48.

What are the eight-digit grid coordinates for benchmark 86 (circled in red)?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

An eight-digit grid coordinate gives a precision to the nearest 10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Grid coordinates are meant to accurately direct to  a specific location, using a map that comes with vertical and horizontal lines of equal spacing and numbers attached to each line to map out a location. The crossing vertical  and horizontal lines have unique numbers and form small squares known as grid squares.

The more digits in the coordinate of a point the increase in precision an eight- digit gives a precision to the nearest 10 meters
