It costs $95 for 20 students to visit an aquarium. How much does it cost for 162 students?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Set up a proportion:

(dollars)/(students) =  (dollars)/(students)
(95)/(20)= (x)/(162)

Now cross multiply:
95*1620=15390
20*x=20x

Set it up as an equation:
15390=20x

Divide both sides by 20:
15390/20
 
And you get:
x=769.5

But you cannot have a half of a student so you will round it up:

x=770 students.

Answer 2
Answer: 162 students* ($95/ 20 students)= $769.50

The final answer is $769.50~

Answers

prime factors of 42:    2x7x3
prime factors of 126:  2x3x3x7
prime factors of 210:  7x3x5x2
now we multiply all the factors that they all have in common: 2x3x7 which is 42. So the highest common factor is 42

Height of a triangle with base 5m and area 20m2

Answers

Since the "base of a triangular sail is 5m shorter than its height", we have the equality  

 Start with the formula for the area of a triangle 


 Plug in , , and  


 Multiply both sides by 2 


 Distribute 


 Subtract 36 from both sides 



 Factor the right side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver) 



Now set each factor equal to zero: 
 or  

 or  Now solve for x in each case 


So our possible answers are 

 or  


However, since a negative height doesn't make sense, our only solution is  



So the height is 9 m 

Now subtract 5 from the height to get the base 


 


So the base is 4 m 



Check: 


 Start with the formula for the area of a triangle 


 Plug in , , and  


 Multiply 


 Divide. Since the two sides of the equation are equal, this verifies our answer. 
If you have a triangle with a base of 5m and an area of 20m2, to find the height begin with the formula of the area of a triangle.

A=1/2bh

Then, plug in your known numbers

20m2=1/2h(5m)

What I do next, is I work backwards by dividing the are by 1/2, which equals 40. All that is left to do, is divide this number, 40, by 5 to find the height.

40/5=8

Therefore, the height of the triangle is 8m
