Namely, how many times does 3¾ go into 78?  well, is just their quotient.

let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to "improper", and then divide,

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\quad 78 \quad }{\frac{15}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{78}{1} \quad }{\frac{15}{4}}\implies \cfrac{78}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{15}\implies \cfrac{26}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{5}\implies \cfrac{104}{5}\implies 20\frac{4}{5}

so, if we nevermind the 4/5 part, only 20 whole of those then.

Question
In a random sample survey of 80 students at Torrey’s middle school, 24 students said that math was their favorite subject. There are a total of 300 students at this middle school. Based on the survey, which value is the BEST estimate for the number of students who would say that math is their favorite subject?
Solution 1
First, figure out the percentage of students that said math is their favorite subject in the 80 student sample.
\frac{24}{80} \times \frac{x}{100} \\ 80x = 2400 \\ x = 30 \\ 30\%
Now, we multiply 300 by .3 to approximate how many students would choose math as their favorite subject
300 \times .3 = 90
Estimating, 90 students would choose math as their favorite subject going off of the given data.

Question
A square poster has a side length of 26 in. Drawn on the poster are four identical triangles. Each triangle has a base of 8 in. and a height of 8 in. Children play a game in which they each wear a blindfold and throw a dart at the poster. A player whose dart lands inside a triangle wins a prize. Assuming that a player's dart will always land on the poster, what is the probability of the dart landing in a triangle? Enter your answer, as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, in the box. P(a point on a triangle) =
Solution 1
Probbility=\frac{desired}{total}
P_{triangle}=\frac{Area_{triangle}}{Area_{total}}
P_{triangle}=\frac{4\times\frac{b \times h}{2}}{s^{2}}
P_{triangle}=\frac{4\times\frac{8 \times 8}{2}}{26^{2}}
P_{triangle}=\frac{4\times\frac{64}{2}}{676}
P_{triangle}=\frac{128}{676}
P_{triangle}=0.189349112
P_{triangle=0.19
P_{triangle}\approx19\%

Question
Which of the following is not an appropriate unit for acceleration? A.kg/s2 B.mi/hr2 C.m/min/sec D.cm/sec2
Solution 1

Which of the following is not an appropriate unit for acceleration?

kg/s2mi/hr2m/min/seccm/sec2

answer- kg/s2
Solution 2

Answer:

A.kg/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

A kilogram, or kg, is a measure of mass.  This would not be a good unit for acceleration; acceleration is a measure of how far something goes in a given amount of time.  It is a measure of distance over time, not mass over time.

Question
Tripp and Rico are two dogs. Tripp weighs exactly 35 pounds more than Rico. Together, they weigh exactly 49 pounds. How much does each dog weigh? Please use Two-step equations!!!! plz, help!
Solution 1

Using a system of equations, it is found that Tripp weighs 42 pounds and Rico weighs 7 pounds.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

  • Variable x: Tripp's weight.
  • Variable y: Rico's weight.

Tripp weighs exactly 35 pounds more than Rico, hence:

x = 35 + y.

Together, they weigh exactly 49 pounds, hence:

x + y = 49

35 + y + y = 49

2y = 14 -> y = 7

x = 35 + y -> x = 42

Hence, Tripp weighs 42 pounds and Rico weighs 7 pounds.

Solution 2
Call the weights of the two dogs t and r.

We know that Tripp weights 35lbs more than Rico, or:
t=r+35

We also know that the total weight of both dogs is 49lbs.:
t+r=49

Now, by substitution:
(r+35)+r=49
2r+35=49
2r+35-35=49-35
2r=14
r=\frac{14}{2}
r=7
Rico weighs 7lbs.

Then:
t=r+35
t=7+35
t=42
Tripp weighs 42lbs.

To check our work:
t+r=49
42+7=49
49=49  CHECK!
