The event coordinator asks you to determine how many students participated in the track-and-field day. The total number of students in seventh and eighth grade combined is 584; 5/8 of them are seventh graders and 3/8 of them are eighth graders. If 4/5 of the seventh graders participated in track-and-field day and 7/8 of the eighth graders participated, about how many total students participated? Describe the process you used to find your answer.

Answers

Answer 1
584 is the total number of students in the school.

5/8 are in seventh grade and 3/8 are in eighth grade.

4/5 of the seventh graders participated in the track meet, so there were (4/5 · 5/8) · 584 students in the seventh grade participating in the track meet.

7/8 of the eighth graders participated, so there were (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 students in the eighth grade participating in the track meet.

So, all together, there were

(4/5 · 5/8) · 584 + (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 students from the school in the track meet.

Let's simplify as you asked:

(4/5 · 5/8) · 584 + (7/8 · 3/8) · 584 = [(4/5 · 5/8) + (7/8 · 3/8)] · 584 (distributive property - factoring)

= [20/40 + 21/64] · 584 (multiply fractions)

= (1/2 + 21/64) 584 (reduce the first fraction to lowest terms)

= (32/64 + 21/64) 584 (getting a common denominator)

= (53/64) 584 (combine/add the two fractions)

= 483.625 (multiply together)

All together, there were: 483.625 students in the meet.

In ΔABC, point M is the midpoint of side AB and point D is the midpoint of segment MC. Prove that the area of ΔADC= the area of ΔBMD

Answers

A line segment from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side is a "median". A median divides the area of the triangle in half, as it divides the base in half without changing the altitude.
AAMC is half AABC. AADC is half AAMC, so is 1/4 of AABC. (By the formula for area of a triangle.)
ABMC is half AABC. ABMD is half ABMC, so is 1/4 of AABC. (By the formula for area of a triangle.)
Then, AADC = 1/4 AABC = ABMC, so AADC = ABMC by the transitive property of equality.

Cormac is making 31 phone calls each week as part of a fundraiser. Last week, he made 8 phone calls on weekdays. Which equation could be used to find x, the number of phone calls he made last week on weekend days? HELPP

Answers

Answer:   k-y

Step-by-step explanation:   Let's call the overall phone calls made every week 'k', and the phone calls made on the weekdays 'y'. Since 'x' is the number of phone calls made per weekend, y+x should equal k. But we don't know what x is so we need to make x the subject, which would be x = k-y.

e.g: k=31, y=8:

31-8= 23 phone calls made on the weekend.

This is a simple graph, but I want to know if I’m right. If the line goes through the origin does that automatically mean it’s positive?
And when it doesn’t go through the origin does that mean it’s automatically negative?
THANK YOU.!

Answers

Answer: This is a negative graph and it is proportional because it goes through the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just beacause it goes through the origin does not mean it will be positive nor negative, if the line goes from the top left of the grid slanted down, it is negative. If the line goes from the top right of the graph slanted down, it is positive. It is proportional because it is a straight line that goes through the origin.

Answer:Under↓↓↓

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so in this case it's a negative slope, because the line is going from left to right.

If the line was going form right to left then It would be a positive slope.
