Answer:The difference between the number of children and adults=153

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of men to women to children is 1:3:20

Total RATIO = 1+ 3+ 20= 24

Number of men = ratio of men / Total ratio x  Total Number of people on the trip =

= 1/24 x 216= 9 men

Number of women=ratio of women / Total ratio x  Total Number of people on the trip = 3/ 24 x 216 = 3x 9= 27 women

Number of children=ratio of Children/ Total ratio x  Total Number of people on the trip = 20/24 x 216= 20 x9 = 180 children

The difference between the number of children and adults will be 180 -27 = 153

The distance of a golf ball from the hole can be represented by the right side of a parabola with vertex (−1, 8). The ball reach
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The required equation is:

y = -\frac{4}{3}t^2 -\frac{8}{3}t + 4

Explanation:

Let us assume that the hole is at y = 0m, with x as the time.

From the question we have (-1s, 8m) as the vertex (here x being the time variable is supposed to be in seconds and y being the distance variable is supposed to be in meters)

At x = 1s, the ball gets to the hole, therefore we have point (1s, 0m)

We know that the vertex of the parabola y = ax² + bx + c is at

x =\frac{-b}{2a}

therefore we have:

-1 = \frac{-b}{2a}

We then have the following equations:

8 = a\times -1^2 + b\times -1 + c

0 = a\times -1^2 + b\times 1 + c

-1 = \frac{-b}{2a}

From the 3rd equation we have

1 X 2a = b.

Therefore we have:

8 = a\times -1^2 - 1\times 2a\times1 + c

0 = a\times 1^2 + 1 \times2a\times 1 + c

We can simplify both equations and get:

8 = a\times( -1^2 - 2s^2) + c = -a\times 3^2 + c

0 = a\times(1^2 + 2^2) + c = a\times 3^2 + c

The first equation now becomes:

8 = -a\times 3 - a\times 3 = -a\times 6

a = frac{8}{-6} = -\frac{4}{3}

With a, we can find the values of c and b.

c = -a\times3 = -(-\frac{4}{3})*3 = 4

b = 1\times 2a = 1\times 2(-\frac{4}{3})= -\frac{8}{3}

Then the equation is:

y = -\frac{4}{3}t^2 -\frac{8}{3}t + 4

2. A drawing of a sailboat was made using a rectangle and two right triangles, as shown. What
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

  45 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is given by ...

  A = (1/2)bh

where b is the base, 2 cm + 3 cm = 5 cm, and h is the height, 6 cm.

  A = (1/2)(5 cm)(6 cm) = 15 cm^2

__

The area of the rectangle is given by ...

  A = bh

where b is the base, 12 cm, and h is the height, 2.5 cm.

  A = (12 cm)(2.5 cm) = 30 cm^2

__

The area of the whole figure is the area of the triangle added to the area of the rectangle:

  drawing area = 15 cm^2 + 30 cm^2 = 45 cm^2

Jane builds a ramp made of a triangular prism and a rectangular prism. What is the volume
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Correct option: third one ->  11.5 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the ramp, first we need to find the volume of the rectangular prism and the volume of the triangular prism:

V_rectangular = 4m * 2m * 1m = 8 m3

V_triangular = (2m * 3.5m * 1m) / 2 = 3.5 m3

Now, to find the volume of the ramp, we just need to sum both volumes:

V_total = V_rectangular + V_triangular = 8 + 3.5 = 11.5 m3

Correct option: third one.

A square has a perimeter of 12x + 52 units. Which expression represents the side length of the square in units?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Option (3) is correct.

side length of square is (3x + 13 ) units.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a square with side 'a'. Perimeter is defined as the sum of length of side. Since, Square has four sides. Thus Perimeter of square = 4 × side

Given square has perimeter = 12x + 52

Comparing both sides,

4 × side = 12 x +  52

⇒ Side = \frac{12x+52}{4}

⇒ Side = \frac{4(3x+13)}{4}

⇒ Side = 3x + 13

Thus, side length of square is (3x + 13 ) units.

Thus, option (3) is correct.
