Riverside Elementary School is holding a school-wide election to choose a school color. Five eighths of the votes were for blue,

five ninths of the remaining votes were for green, and the remaining 48 votes were for red. How many votes were for blue? How many votes for green?

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???

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 5/9 x 3/8= 15/72

reduce 15/72 to lowest term any you get 5/24

Alvin and Bala has 26 stickers.Alvin had 8 more stickers thab Bala.How many stickers did Bala have?​
Brilliant_brown [7]
Bala had 9 stickers

You could set this up as a equation. Because there was a total of 26 you would for sure put =26. Next you are told Alvin has 8 MORE than Bali, therefore you would be adding the unknown value of Bala by 8. This could be represented as x+8=26. Now that you have x added to 8 you need to add another x to the equation to fully represent the problem since Alvin has 8 more stickers than Bala does. The new equation would become 2x+8=26.

You must now isolate x by first subtraction 8 from both sides which will leave you with 2x=18. Then you divide on both sides by 2 and will leave you with x=9

G find the area of the surface over the given region. use a computer algebra system to verify your results. the sphere r(u,v) =
Svetach [21]
Presumably you should be doing this using calculus methods, namely computing the surface integral along \mathbf r(u,v).

But since \mathbf r(u,v) describes a sphere, we can simply recall that the surface area of a sphere of radius a is 4\pi a^2.

In calculus terms, we would first find an expression for the surface element, which is given by

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\iint_S\left\|\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}=a\cos u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a\cos u\sin v\,\mathbf j-a\sin u\,\mathbf k
\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=-a\sin u\sin v\,\mathbf i+a\sin u\cos v\,\mathbf j
\implies\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=a^2\sin^2u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a^2\sin^2u\sin v\,\mathbf j+a^2\sin u\cos u\,\mathbf k
\implies\left\|\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|=a^2\sin u

So the area of the surface is

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}a^2\sin u\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=2\pi a^2\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\sin u
=-2\pi a^2(\cos\pi-\cos 0)
=-2\pi a^2(-1-1)
=4\pi a^2

as expected.

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur
Schach [20]
X: earn per  hour during the week
y: earn per hour during the weekend

13x + 14y = 250.90
15x + 8y = 204.70

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 7

52x + 56y = 1003.6
105x + 56y = 1432.90

Subtract the first equation from the second:

 53x = 429.30

x = 429.30/ 53
x = 8.10

Solve any of the equation for y:

15x + 8y = 204.70

y = [204.70 - 15(8.10)]/8 = 10.40

y - x = 10.40 -8.10 = 2.30

Answer: she earns $2.30 per hour more during the weekend than during the week.
