In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.

Let's say that children = c and adults = a

30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960

I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.

   a + c = 960 
       - c    -    c
 ---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
   a = 960 - c 



20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
   19,200 - 8c = 19,080
 - 19,200         - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
         8c = -120                    into the opposite equation.                                                
       ------  ---------
          8         8
 
         c = -15



30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
   30a - 180 = 19,080
          + 180  +     180
 -------------------------------
   30a = 19,260
  -------   -----------
    30          30
     
       a = 642
__________________________________________________________

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.

$30x+$12y=$19080
x+y=960
y=960-x
30*x+12*960-x=$19080
30x-12x=-7560
-18x=-7560
x=-7560/-18
x=420
therefore there are 420 children
960-420=540
and there are 540 adults

Ruth has 12 feet of ribbon.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

See I don't know the answer but I did another one like this if it doesn't help you can report it no problem

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 different ways you can solve this problem and you'll get the same answer.

To help you visualize what you have to do, it might be easiest to translate your problem to a unit that easier to use.

Since you only have a ribbon 5 feet long, but you must cut it into 6 pieces, you know it won't even be 1 foot long.

One way to solve the problem would be to translate your 5-foot ribbon into a ribbon divided into inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

To find out how many inches long your ribbon is, you'll need to multiply the number of feet by 12.

Once you know that, then you can more easily divide it by 6. This will tell you how many inches each ribbon is.

Careful! the answer is to be put into feet so once you know how many inches long the ribbon is, you must then divide by 12 to get the correct answer in feet. Don't forget to round to the nearest tenth.

Another way to solve the problem is to simply divide the 5 feet by the number 6 and then round your number to the nearest tenth. It may be harder to visualize the answer this way, but you will get the same answer as if you translated your ribbon into inches and then divided by 12.

Good luck! I hope this helps!

Bas_tet [7]
R = rate for the lawn sprinkler

rate of lawn sprinklerand hose would be 5 minutes /r ( rate per minute)

 we would then want to add that to the ratio of the  lawn sprinkler and hose together together which would be 5 minutes for both / 8 minutes for hose
 we want to add those together to equal 100 percent, which can also be written as 1
 so the correct equation would be B) 5/8 + 5/r = 1

Conservation of Species A certain species of turtle faces extinction because dealers collect truckloads of turtle eggs to be sol
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The turtle population's rate of growth will be 32 turtles per year after 2 years and 248 per year after 6 years.

Ten years after the conservation measures are implemented the population will be 3260 turtles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of growth of the turtle population at any time <em>t</em> you need to find N'(t)

\frac{d}{dt}N(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2t^3+3t^2-4t+1000)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\\frac{d}{dt}(2t^3)+\frac{d}{dt}(3t^2)-\frac{d}{dt}(4t)+\frac{d}{dt}(1000)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Power\:Rule}:\quad \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^a\right)=a\cdot x^{a-1}\\\\N'(t)=6t^2+6t-4

In particular, when t = 2 and t = 6, we have

N'(2)=6(2)^2+6(2)-4=32\\\\N'(6)=6(6)^2+6(6)-4=248

so the turtle population's rate of growth will be 32 turtles per year after 2 years and 248 per year after 6 years.

The turtle population at the end of the tenth year will be

N(10)=2(10)^3+3(10)^2-4(10)+1000\\N(10)=3260 \:turtles

Consider the set A, of all integers from 1 to 10 inclusive (that means the 1 and the 10 are included in this set) Give a set B t
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

C^{I} = {2, 4, 10}

Step-by-step explanation:

A set is a collection of objects called elements. These element are refered to as members of the set.

Set A contains all integers from 1 to 10 inclusive;

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

A subset of a given set implies that every element of the subset are also elements of the given set. Set B is a subset of A;

B = {1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

Complement of a given set refers to elements not in the general set. Set C is the complement of B;

C^{I} = {2, 4, 10}

When Arjun makes hot cocoa, he adds 20\text{ mL}20 mL20, start text, space, m, L, end text of chocolate syrup for every 333 ounc
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

<em>Hi There!</em>

Answer:

The hot coca mad by Eli is more chocolaty because it has more chocolate in lesser amount of water.

Because, Arjun takes quantity of chocolate = 20 mL

<em><u>Choice 1.</u></em>

Arjun takes quantity of water = 33 ounces

The Chocolate to Water ratio is

Chocolate : Water = 20 : 33

Dividing by 20, We get

Chocolate : Water = 1 : 1.65

<u><em>Choice 2.</em></u>

Arjun add 1 ml of chocolate in 1.65 ounces of water.

Eli takes quantity of chocolate = 45 mL

Eli takes quantity of water = 66 ounces

The Chocolate to Water ratio is

Chocolate : Water = 45 : 66

Dividing by 45 , we get

Chocolate : Water = 1 : 1.47

Eli add 1 ml of chocolate in 1.47 ounces of water.

So, The hot coca mad by Eli is more chocolaty because it has more chocolate in lesser amount of water.

<em>Good Luck!</em>
