Answer:

300 Adults 555 Children

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

Firstly, at 5pm there were 36 more Children (C) than Adults (A)

So.....C = A + 36

Secondly, at 12pm there were 5 x more Children and 4 x more Adults and the total was 855

So 4A + 5C = 855

——-

Now use ‘C = A + 36’ and get rid of all ‘C’ in the second equation.....

4A + 5C = 855

becomes......

4A + 5 (A + 36) = 855

Multiply the brackets (5 x A) and (5 x 36):

4A + 5A + 180 = 855

Take off 180 from both sides:

4A + 5A = 675

Therefore 9A = 675

Divide by 9:

A = 75

We know C is A + 36

C = 111

At 5 pm - A = 75 and C = 111

Therefore at 12:

There were 5 x C = 555

And 4 x A = 300

2 groups of 10 tiles and 2 groups of 3 tiles. Which explains whether or not this model accurately shows 26 ÷ 2? It does because
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

It does because 26 = 20 + 6, and the model shows 2 groups of 10 and 2 groups of 3.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Two groups of 10 make 20. Two groups of 3 make 6.

20 + 6 = 26

B is wrong. The model does not show two groups of 6.

C is wrong. The model should show one group of 6..

D is wrong. The model should show two groups of 10 and one group of 6.

Subtract 1.05 from a certain number. Multiply the difference by 0.8, add 2.84 to the product then divide the sum by 0.01 and get
bazaltina [42]
Answer:
The number is 6.25

Explanation:
Assume that the number we are looking for is x

First, we will set up the equations as follows:
1- Subtract 1.05 from the number (assume the result is y):
x - 1.05 = y

2- Multiply the difference by 0.8 (assume the product is z):
0.8(y) = z

3- add 2.84 to the product (assume the result is w):
z + 2.84 = w

4- divide the sum by 0.01, the quotient is 700:
w / 0.01 = 700

Now, we will work backwards as follows:
4) w / 0.01 = 700
    w = 0.01 * 700
    w = 7

3) z + 2.84 = w
    z + 2.84 = 7
    z = 7 - 2.84
    z = 4.16

2) 0.8y = z
    0.8y = 4.16
    y = 4.16 / 0.8
    y = 5.2

1) x - 1.05 = y
    x - 1.05 = 5.2
    x = 5.2 + 1.05
    x = 6.25

Hope this helps :)
