MATHEMATICS MIDDLE SCHOOL

In a certain class of students, there are 12 boys from wilmette, 5 girls from kenilworth, 7 girls from wilmette, 4 boys from Glencoe, 2 boys from kenilworth and 9 girls from Glencoe. If the teacher calls upon a student to answer a question, what is the probability that the student will be from kenilworth?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

7/39 = 17.94%

Step-by-step explanation:

Town          Students     Relative Frequency

Wilmette   12 boys + 7 girls = 19 19/39 = 48.72%

Glencoe    9 girls + 4 boys = 13 13/39 = 33.33%

Kenilworth  2 boys + 5 girls = 7  7/39 = 17.94%

Total         39 students         39/39 = 100%

 

Another approach to solve probability is the Relative Frequency. A frequency is the number of times an event occurs. To solve for the relative frequency, it’s the ratio of the frequency of an event to the total outcomes. From the question, it is clear that for each town, it was subdivided into boys and girls but the word students represent the combined number of boys and girls for a particular town. so finding the probability that a student called at random to answer a question is from kenilworth is simply the ratio of students from kenilworth over the total number of students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve x: 3x-7 = 5x+13
Solve x: 7-3x = 5x+13

Answers

first you need to combine like terms
7-3x= 5x+13
step 1 add 3x
7=8x+13
step 2 subteact 13
-6=8x
step 3 divide both sides by two
x=-3/4
1.
Since 5x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 5x from both sides.
3x−7−5x=13

Add 3x and −5x to get −2x.
−2x−7=13

Move -7 to the right hand side of the equation.
−2x=7+13

Add 7 and 13 to get 20.
−2x=20

Divide each term in the equation by −2.

x=−10

Since 5x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 5x from both sides.
7−3x−5x=13

Add −3x and −5x to get −8x.
7−8x=13

Move 7 to the right hand side of the equation.
−8x=−7+13

Add −7 and 13 to get 6.
−8x=6

Divide each term in the equation by −8.

A farmer needs to buy fertilizer for two fields. One field is shaped like a trapezoid, and the other is shaped like a triangle. The trapezoidal field has bases that are 35 and 48 yards and a height of 26 yards. The triangular field has the same height and a base of 39 yards. Each bag of fertilizer covers 150 square yards. Use a problem solving model to find how many bags of fertilizer the farmer needs to buy

Answers

43680 for the trapezoid
35 times 48 times 26

1521 for the triangular
39 times 39
