Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data shows that only 1 row was in use. We also know that Mr. Torres is an adult. So for the ease, lets use A for Adult and S for student.

The seating must fulfill the requirements that 4 students must be between adults such that it would be "A-S-S-S-S-A"

On a row of 11 seats, this should be the searing arrangements.

A-S-S-S-S-A-S-S-S-S-A ( for 1 row).

Mr. Torres could be any A .

andriy [413]

Answer: 76.19\%

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: " A theatre has the capacity to seat people across two levels, the Circle, and the stalls. The ratio of the number of seats in the circle to a number of seats in the stalls is 2:5. Last Friday, the audience occupied all the 528 seats in the circle and \frac{2}{3} of the seats in the stalls. What is the percentage of occupancy of the theatre last Friday?"</h3>

Let be "s" the total number of seats in the Stalls.

The problem says that the ratio of the number of seats in the Circle to the number of seats in the Stalls is 2:5.

Since the number of seats that were occupied last Friday was 528 seats, we can set up the following proportion:

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{528}{s}

Solving for "s", we get:

s*\frac{2}{5}=528\\\\s=528*\frac{5}{2}\\\\s=1,320

So the sum of the number of seats in the Circle and the number of seats in the Stalls, is:

Total=1,320\ seats+528\ seats=1,848\ seats

 We know that \frac{2}{3} of the seats in the Stalls were occupied. Then, the number of seat in the Stalls that were occupied is:

(1,320)(\frac{2}{3})=880

Therefore, the total number of seats that were occupied las Friday is:

Total\ occupied=880\ seats+528\ seats=1,408\ seats

Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion, where "p" is the the percentage of occupancy of the theatre last Friday:

\frac{100}{1,848}=\frac{p}{1,408}

Solving for "p", we get:

(1,408)(\frac{100}{1,848})=p\\\\p=76.19\%

In a statewide soccer competition, 36 games were played. Each team participating in the competition played once with every other
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

9 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total games played was 36 and no team played each other twice, we need to ensure there isn't any double counting.

36 = (n-1) + (n-2) + (n-3) ... + (n-(n-1))

using this knowledge, we can then count up:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36

If our highest number is 8, then we know there must be 9 teams, because no team can play themselves.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

volume of trapezoidal prism = 15x^2 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, area of the trapezoidal bases.

Parallel sides measure x and 2x, for an average of 1.5x.

Height = x

Area of trapezoidal base = 1.5x*x = 1.5x^2

Volume of prism = area base * height

(length does not matter, height does)

= 1.5x^2 * 10 = 15x^2
