Answer:
111
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the student to faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3.
Let number of students and faculty members are 17x and 3x respectively.
It is given that total number of students and faculty is 740.
Divide both sides by 20.
Number of student 
Number of faculty members 
Therefore, there are 111 faculty members at the college.
Okay so since it is 32 cents, it will be 0.32
You need to find the number of pounds
So, do 848/0.32
You get 2650
Charmaine purchased 2,650 pounds of rocks
hope this helps:)
Let x be rate of boat in still water
let y be rate of current
we use this equation to relate quantities:
distance = speed · time
we have two unknowns so we might need to create a system of equationss
upstream:
speed (in km/h) = x - y
(we get speed of boat then subtract the current's speed from it since current is going against boat direction)
time = 3 hours
distance = 144 km
downstream:
speed (in hm/h) = x + y
(we get speed of boat then add the current's spd from it since current is going against boat direction)
time = 2 hours
distance = 144 km (same distance upstream and downstream)
using distance = speed times time
for upstream
144 = 3(x-y)
144 = 3x - 3y
for downstream
144 = 2(x+y)
72 = x + y
system of eqns:
144 = 3x - 3y
72 = x + y
solve by substitution: move 72 = x + y into x = 72 - y and subst into other equation for x
144 = 3(72 - y) - 3y
144 = 216 - 3y - 3y
144 = 216 - 6y
144 - 216 = -6y
-72 = -6y
y = 12 km/h
Use x = 72 - y to find x with y = 12: x = 72 - 12 = 60 km/h
rate of boat in still water is 60 km/h
rate of the current is 12 km/h
Before we figure out how many customers you will need to talk per day to reach your goal, let's calculate what is 20% of how many customers you normally talk to a day.
current no. = 8
goal = 8 + 20%
20% = 8 x 0.20
(a percent is really just a fraction with the percent number over 100)
20% = 1.60
goal = 8 + 1.60
goal = 9.60
However, there is no such thing as .60 of a person so we will have to round up. You will need to talk to 10 customers per day.
